MBB as tennis big 3

In honor of US Open....

McKinsey: Novak Djokovic 

  • Simply the GOAT. While often finding themselves in the media for the wrong reasons and drawing the ire of many in the general public, the stats and achievements speak for themselves. 

BCG: Roger Federer

  • Just like how Federer ushered in a new era of tennis with his creativity and elegance, BCG arguably founded the modern era of consulting by pioneering the modern strategy consulting toolkit with ideas like the growth share matrix.

Bain: Rafael Nadal 

  • Nobody quite dominates a single surface like Nadal; similarly, Bain is the undisputed king of PE consulting. However, while that is the first thing many people think of and is less frequently in the GOAT conversation, they still go toe to toe with the other two in other industries
