Episode Synopsis

In the second episode of the podcast, we interview Jill Zucker, a managing partner in McKinsey's New York office. Jill is actively involved in McKinsey Women and responsible for founding the Dual Career Network, which supports personal and professional advancement of McKinsey colleagues and their partners balancing two careers, alongside authoring the report ‘Making it Work: How Dual-Career Couples find Career Fulfilment.’ We talk about the report and the initiative, her inspiration for setting it up, why it has been so successful, and how other organisations can work to implement similar programmes. We also talk more widely about gender equality in the workplace, and how aspiring professionals can help push for social change in their own careers.
