At Oliver Wyman, we are eager to bring a range of perspectives into the decision-making process of our leadership team. Today's unique environment, marked by an unprecedented pace of disruption and evolving expectations from the workforce, requires even more management agility as well as a strong sense of culture and belonging. Our response: inviting a group of non-executive employees from all industry groups and job families, representing a wide range of backgrounds and identities, to shape major firm decisions.
I continue to be inspired by the intelligence, integrity, and energy of our colleagues. I am honored to be able to serve as the first GLT Council Chairperson and to be part of a new forum that integrates views from all parts of the firm and involves more colleagues in the decision-making processMariya Rosberg, Chair, Global Leadership Council

What do you do outside of work for fun? Outside work, I enjoy chasing my 2-year-old daughter. I love walking in the city, exploring galleries, and daydreaming with audiobooks as well as camping, canoeing, and hiking with friends. Eventually, I plan to pursue my own art again.
What have you found most rewarding about being a member of the GLTC? The experience is rewarding and empowering, providing direct exposure to senior leadership. Sharing honest reflections and shaping ideas before they reach the GLT has a significant impact on understanding the firm. In addition, it offers valuable learning and growth opportunities for employees.
The Council introduced a peer-to-peer recognition and reward system in 2021, which is now a permanent part of our firm. The program recognizes colleagues for above and beyond contributions – so far, the program has recognized over 3,000 colleagues and awarded them with spot bonuses.
The Council isn’t just a reactive body, it is one that helps to challenge, shape and provide such good feedback that hopefully we end up with new programs for the firm that have real impact. A great example of this is the discussion we had with the GLT Council around recognition, which catalyzed the idea of the peer to peer recognition program kudOWsNicky Dingemanns, Chief Human Capital Officer
The council conducted an in-depth study of Oliver Wyman’s culture, identifying what we want to strengthen and hard truths about where we can change. The study has helped spur significant work at the top of the house to build upon our strong culture as the firm adapts to the ‘new normal’.
I was incredibly inspired by how sharp, kind and committed my fellow Council members are, but was also heartened by the quality of care and attention we got from firm leadership. There are obviously practical constraints to any change, but overall, everyone in the room was committed to making the firm better for our people and our clientsAlice, 2021 Council
