McKinsey & Company is an American multinational strategy and management consulting firm, founded in 1926 by James O. McKinsey, providing professional services to global corporations, governments, and institutions. The firm positions itself as a trusted advisor, assisting clients with complex needs ranging from developing strategies for net zero and leading with technology to improving organizational health and board governance. Key leadership includes CEO Bob Sternfels, who recently stated the firm's headcount is 60,000 employees, a figure that includes 25,000 AI agents alongside human staff. Despite its global reach and the function of its Shareholders Council as a global board of directors, the firm has faced recent operational shifts, including announcements of plans to cut approximately 10% of its workforce amid a consulting slowdown. McKinsey's expertise extends to advising public company boards, noting that research found only 11% of public boards report having a very high impact on value creation.
