BCG promotes three to managing director in Australia
Leading strategy consultancy Boston Consulting Group has added to its roster of senior leaders with the promotion of three new managing directors and partners across Australia: Matthias Egler, Timo Schmid, and Sek-loong Tan.
Matthias Egler
Kicking off his career with a four-year stint between Berlin and Shanghai focused on M&A in the Corporate Finance advisory wing of Ernst & Young, Egler has been with BCG since 2011, originally for three months in San FranCisco. From there, he has spent time with the firm in Berlin and Sydney, working with clients in the Financial Services and Media & Technology industries. He holds an MBA from the Hass School of Business.
Timo Schmid
A member of BCG’s Corporate Finance & Strategy team, Melbourne-based Schmid co-leads the firm’s Principal Investors & Private Equity practice in ANZ. With BCG for the past five years, Schmid has altogether spent almost a decade at the firm, originally joining in for his first stint as Corporate Development project leader in 2007 – with a four-year period in M&A at Westfarmers in between. Earlier, he was with Siemens for four years.
Sek-loong Tan
Currently based out of Canberra, public sector specialist Tan has been with BCG for the past eleven years, with stints in the firm’s Melbourne, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur offices. Earlier, he spent two years with BCG in London, separated by five years spent between Asialink and Teach For Australia, the latter of which he co-founded. He holds a Master of Public Administration from the Harvard Kennedy School.
Late 2020, BCG promoted Joe Butler and Koen Alfrink to managing director and partner level.
Globally, BCG has around 22,000 professionals, who combined generate revenues of US$8.6 billion. The Australian team generated revenues of $279 million in the 2020 financial year.
