As one of the world's leading management consulting firms, Bain & Company has announced the election of Christophe De Vusser as its new Worldwide Managing Partner (Chief Executive Officer) with effect from July 1, 2024.
Currently serving a second three-year term as Bain's Worldwide Managing Partner, De Vusser will follow Manny Maceda, who has led Bain through a period of accelerated expansion since 2018, with a run of double-digit growth and investment for an extended period of time.
As part of his leadership, Maceda has overseen Bain's transformation to embed diverse, expanded capabilities into the core business of the company, while increasing its focus on sustainability. As a result of acquisitions, the company has been able to expand rapidly in fast-growing areas such as digital, artificial intelligence, sustainability, and supply chain management. Since 2018, Bain has made 25 successful acquisitions or minority investments as well as establishing a number of strategic partnerships that have been extremely successful. As Bain's business has grown rapidly, Maceda has been instrumental in nurturing and strengthening Bain's unique, collaborative culture, helping the firm to achieve numerous accolades as one of the best companies to work for in the world

A key part of the success and development of the firm has been De Vusser's involvement. In addition to serving on the firm's Board of Directors and several Board committees, he is also the leader of Bain's Private Equity and Financial Investors practice in Europe, Middle East and Africa. Before joining the firm, he was the managing partner of its Brussels office.
As a result of Christopher's service at the firm over more than two decades, we are able to demonstrate our constant mission to assist clients in creating such high levels of value that together we set new standards of excellence," said Maceda.. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Christophe for many years, and I look forward to many more. I look forward to Christophe's leadership as worldwide managing partner, as he will maintain our ambition and lead continued change to further improve our effectiveness while focusing on clients and results, while strengthening Bain's differentiation as one of the best places to work in the world- and leading Bain into the next chapter of its global success story.
