00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:01.950
<v ->Hi, I'm Mai-Britt</v>

2
00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:04.280 line:15% 
and I'm here at Davos with Lisa.

3
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.380 line:15% 
Lisa is a Partner and Managing Director at BCG.

4
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:09.630 line:15% 
She also leads our office in Morocco.

5
00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:12.730
And she's a WEF Young Global Leader.

6
00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:13.563
Hi, Lisa.

7
00:00:13.563 --> 00:00:14.396
<v ->Hi, Mai-Britt.</v>

8
00:00:14.396 --> 00:00:16.660
<v ->Hi, thanks for being here today.</v>

9
00:00:16.660 --> 00:00:19.520
So, Lisa, can you tell us about your experience

10
00:00:19.520 --> 00:00:21.400
as a WEF Young Global Leader?

11
00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:22.350
It's pretty unique,

12
00:00:22.350 --> 00:00:25.360
there are 100 leaders nominated every year

13
00:00:25.360 --> 00:00:27.110
and you were one of them last year.

14
00:00:27.110 --> 00:00:29.030
<v ->Absolutely, I had the opportunity</v>

15
00:00:29.030 --> 00:00:30.220
and the honor, to be honest,

16
00:00:30.220 --> 00:00:34.880
to be selected as part of the 2019 promotion of YGLs.

17
00:00:37.290 --> 00:00:39.587
It's really an honor because it's a small group, obviously,

18
00:00:39.587 --> 00:00:41.800
but it's a very diverse group.

19
00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:43.720
So, it brings lots of opportunity

20
00:00:43.720 --> 00:00:45.960
to connect beyond what we do.

21
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.360
And it's a group of people that is really

22
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:51.320
passionate about making change happen.

23
00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:55.733
And I would say with a urgent sense of accountability.

24
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.900
So, it has been a great experience so far, only nine months,

25
00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:03.380
but I look forward to the coming years with this network.

26
00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:04.411
<v ->Congratulations, it's super impressive.</v>

27
00:01:04.411 --> 00:01:06.060
<v ->Thank you.</v>

28
00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.970
<v ->So, how has this affected your BCG career</v>

29
00:01:08.970 --> 00:01:10.000
in the last year?

30
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.800
<v ->It's very complimentary, I would say,</v>

31
00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:15.033
in terms of opportunities to what BCG brings.

32
00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:18.130
To give you a concrete illustration,

33
00:01:18.130 --> 00:01:22.000
in Morocco, so we are a group of 10 YGL alumni,

34
00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:23.580
so we meet regularly.

35
00:01:23.580 --> 00:01:24.670
And within this group,

36
00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:27.040
we have the CEO of the largest bank of the country,

37
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:29.880
but you also have a political activist,

38
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:32.930
you have a green finance entrepreneur,

39
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:36.440
you have the leader of a crisis management company,

40
00:01:36.440 --> 00:01:39.690
so lots of different profiles that sync a bit differently

41
00:01:39.690 --> 00:01:42.270
that what we use to see at BCG,

42
00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:44.940
but also have different levels of action.

43
00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:46.840
<v ->Wow, it's a very diverse group,</v>

44
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.340
and diversity is super important.

45
00:01:49.340 --> 00:01:52.130
So when it comes to some of the challenges that we see,

46
00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:54.690
sustainability, the climate crisis,

47
00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:57.336
state and ethics,

48
00:01:57.336 --> 00:02:00.400
and you talk about collaboration and accountability.

49
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:04.000
How do you view that between businesses, governments,

50
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.190
the civil society, academia?

51
00:02:06.190 --> 00:02:08.910
Do you talk about that as a part of your work with WEF?

52
00:02:08.910 --> 00:02:11.330
<v ->Yeah, well, I mean, we talk about collaboration</v>

53
00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:15.320
and I would say we collaborate ourselves

54
00:02:15.320 --> 00:02:17.696
by meeting regularly, like once a month

55
00:02:17.696 --> 00:02:20.370
or once every two months.

56
00:02:20.370 --> 00:02:25.320
And we, I mean, not just talk, we try to act.

57
00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:27.840
So, beyond the talking, each of us

58
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:31.370
gets back to our organization to really make things happen.

59
00:02:31.370 --> 00:02:33.850
So yes, I mean, collaboration is the only way

60
00:02:33.850 --> 00:02:36.080
to move forward with the global challenge

61
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.370
you just mentioned.

62
00:02:37.370 --> 00:02:40.420
And I think the YGL community's a very powerful

63
00:02:40.420 --> 00:02:42.300
tool to move forward.

64
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:45.050
<v ->I think so too, it's a very impressive group.</v>

65
00:02:45.050 --> 00:02:46.920
Thanks for being here with me today.

66
00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:48.720
<v ->Thank you, Mai-Britt, my pleasure.</v>
