The greater Seattle area is home to some of the most admired, innovative companies in the world, many of which are a perfect match for Bain’s approach and capabilities.”

“Seattle, one of the country’s most attractive talent markets, is an important Pacific Northwest hub for many of our people, clients, and recruits,” said Ivan Hindshaw, Americas regional managing partner at Bain & Company. “Tamara has played a key role in the tremendous growth and unique culture of the Seattle office since it opened five years ago. She is a widely admired leader and mentor at Bain, and we look forward to her continued leadership in this new role.”
