00:00:06.780 --> 00:00:10.500
<v 1>Hello, BCG alumni and BCGers. As chief alumni officer,</v>

3
00:00:10.501 --> 00:00:14.430
it's my pleasure to kick off Worldwide Alumni Day,

4
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:18.780
our beloved annual tradition celebrating the network of now

5
00:00:18.810 --> 00:00:21.300
29,000 alumni around the world.

6
00:00:22.590 --> 00:00:25.350
If this year has made anything clear, it's this:

7
00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:30.360
the collective resilience of BCGers and alumni around the world brought us

8
00:00:30.361 --> 00:00:34.680
closer together. In some ways, even when we couldn't be together in person.

9
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:37.110
I look forward to celebrating.

10
00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:41.070
<v 2>I'm so proud to have you as part of the BCG community.</v>

11
00:00:41.071 --> 00:00:44.340
Our alumni are acting with purpose,

12
00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:47.910
advancing the world through leadership, and supporting one another.

13
00:00:48.330 --> 00:00:52.920
It's been such a privilege to get to know so many of you through my time as CEO

14
00:00:52.921 --> 00:00:57.240
these past nine years, but I'm now excited to pass the baton to Christoph,

15
00:00:57.810 --> 00:00:59.250
whose energy, leadership,

16
00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:03.630
and aspiration to live our purpose and make an enormous difference for our

17
00:01:03.631 --> 00:01:08.340
clients and the world sets BCG on course for many successful years

18
00:01:08.341 --> 00:01:10.200
ahead. Thank you for your support,

19
00:01:10.201 --> 00:01:15.180
and I look forward to staying in touch in my new role as BCG's global chair.

20
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:20.700
<v 3>As BCG's new CEO, I'm so excited to reconnect with all of you.</v>

21
00:01:21.270 --> 00:01:24.570
We are deeply proud of you and the difference you make in the world.

22
00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:30.030
Worldwide Alumni Day is a tremendous opportunity to celebrate the achievements

23
00:01:30.031 --> 00:01:30.870
of our community,

24
00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:34.950
to reconnect with old friends and create memories with new ones,

25
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:40.080
and to learn more about how our Alumni Network can bring you the best of BCG.

26
00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:43.650
While you may no longer be at BCG technically,

27
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:48.810
you will always remain a part of the BCG extended family and are truly one

28
00:01:48.811 --> 00:01:50.730
of the biggest assets of this firm.

29
00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:55.770
I'm greatly looking forward to engaging with you all at the Global Alumni Town

30
00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:57.390
Hall on November 18th.

31
00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:00.060
<v 1>This WWAD, we look forward together--energized</v>

32
00:02:02.011 --> 00:02:04.980
by our connections, inspired by our successes,

33
00:02:05.430 --> 00:02:09.150
and grounded in our community. Thank you so much,

34
00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:11.730
and see you all at Worldwide Alumni Day.
