Black at Bain
Black at Bain
Black at Bain (BAB) is a dynamic community for all Bain professionals who want to build deeper connections with colleagues around African, African American, Black, and/or Caribbean cultures and experience across the global diaspora. Our efforts focus on building connection and community and creating a culture where everyone feels valued, empowered, and inspired.
A core piece of our commitment to Diverse Teams, One Bain
Bain has been investing in diverse and inclusive teams since our founding. Our earliest affinity groups started informally over 30 years ago and since then we have expanded into a wide range of activities and events to create a culture of inclusion where every Bainie can thrive.
Black at Bain provides members a space to form meaningful relationships, drive connectivity, and build community. While we take pride in the deep bonds created within Black at Bain, we also build connections with other affinity groups and share about the diversity of Black culture with the broader firm.
“I reach out to our Black at Bain community to navigate big life events, tricky situations on a case, or thinking about my broader ambitions. They’re my cheerleaders.”
