Ralph Breuer

Ralph is the European Leader of GLAM, McKinsey’s worldwide network of LGBTQ+ colleagues who are committed to supporting one another’s success and to attracting other exceptional LGBTQ+ individuals into the McKinsey community. GLAM Europe has more than doubled membership under Ralph’s leadership. Ralph has enabled and empowered all of our offices to have active GLAM and allyship engagement, including leading our signature event Day of Pink, with 95% of McKinsey offices participating in learning about LGBTQ+ inclusion and allyship. He has been a role model and advocate for transgender and non-binary inclusion, for example ensuring all-gender restrooms are available in McKinsey offices. Ralph’s efforts have promoted diversity recruiting initiatives for the next generation of LGBTQ+ talent by hosting the firm’s tentpole events in the region, growing the network’s LGBTQ+ recruiting efforts to nearly all offices, including hosting the first LGBTQ+ recruiting event in Tel Aviv. He has also led pro bono efforts to support LGBTQ+ refugees and uses his platform to publish and speak publicly on LGBTQ+ topics.
