Senior Partner and Managing Partner, McKinsey & Company
Tunde Olanrewaju is the Managing Partner for McKinsey’s UK, Ireland and Israel offices and a Senior Partner in the global consultancy giant’s London office. In July 2023, he was elected to McKinsey’s Shareholders Council – effectively the firm’s global board. It is comprised of 30 senior partners and membership is determined by a vote held across the full Senior Partner body annually.
In his client service, Tunde works with a range of financial services, private equity, real estate, consumer- facing and public sector institutions on strategy, digital transformation, analytics, operations, organisation, and culture – aspiring to make these institutions resilient and position them for sustainable, inclusive growth.
Tunde is one of the global leaders who helped create McKinsey Digital, building design, engineering, analytics, and product capabilities within the firm to support clients in the digital transformation of their organisations, the launch of disruptive attacker propositions and exploiting data analytics at scale. Successful projects have included supporting a European defence authority on the end-to-end transformation of its major IT contracts to transition to the Cloud, including systematic identification of cost-reduction opportunities, creation of a new contracting model to fund transformation, and ongoing commercial and delivery support to execute the change.
Nigeria-born Tunde is also a leader of the McKinsey Black Network, a global community for black client-service staff committed to recruiting a fair share of black talent and mentoring relationships.
Outside of McKinsey, Tunde is a trustee of Oxfam GB. He holds a first-class MEng degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Imperial College London.
In 2019, he and his two brothers – all three Imperial College alumni – launched the Lara & Biodun Olanrewaju Scholarship. It supports black undergraduate students of exceptional academic merit in both the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
