-: Hi, I'm Mai-Britt
and I'm here at Davos with Lisa.
Lisa is a Partner and Managing Director at BCG.
She also leads our office in Morocco.
And she's a WEF Young Global Leader.
Hi, Lisa.
-: Hi, Mai-Britt.
-: Hi, thanks for being here today.
So, Lisa, can you tell us about your experience
as a WEF Young Global Leader?
It's pretty unique,
there are 100 leaders nominated every year
and you were one of them last year.
-: Absolutely, I had the opportunity
and the honor, to be honest,
to be selected as part of the 2019 promotion of YGLs.
It's really an honor because it's a small group, obviously,
but it's a very diverse group.
So, it brings lots of opportunity
to connect beyond what we do.
And it's a group of people that is really
passionate about making change happen.
And I would say with a urgent sense of accountability.
So, it has been a great experience so far, only nine months,
but I look forward to the coming years with this network.
-: Congratulations, it's super impressive.
-: Thank you.
-: So, how has this affected your BCG career
in the last year?
-: It's very complimentary, I would say,
in terms of opportunities to what BCG brings.
To give you a concrete illustration,
in Morocco, so we are a group of 10 YGL alumni,
so we meet regularly.
And within this group,
we have the CEO of the largest bank of the country,
but you also have a political activist,
you have a green finance entrepreneur,
you have the leader of a crisis management company,
so lots of different profiles that sync a bit differently
that what we use to see at BCG,
but also have different levels of action.
-: Wow, it's a very diverse group,
and diversity is super important.
So when it comes to some of the challenges that we see,
sustainability, the climate crisis,
state and ethics,
and you talk about collaboration and accountability.
How do you view that between businesses, governments,
the civil society, academia?
Do you talk about that as a part of your work with WEF?
-: Yeah, well, I mean, we talk about collaboration
and I would say we collaborate ourselves
by meeting regularly, like once a month
or once every two months.
And we, I mean, not just talk, we try to act.
So, beyond the talking, each of us
gets back to our organization to really make things happen.
So yes, I mean, collaboration is the only way
to move forward with the global challenge
you just mentioned.
And I think the YGL community's a very powerful
tool to move forward.
-: I think so too, it's a very impressive group.
Thanks for being here with me today.
-: Thank you, Mai-Britt, my pleasure.
