With all of the rhetoric around Diversity in consulting, can someone explain why 13 or 14 out of 14 newly promoted Managing Directors in KPMG Advisory are white men? Also, how long until someone from upper management flags this post to keep everything silent?

How many people at the level below are not part of that white men demographic?

Often the problems with diversity are further upstream/up the pipeline.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
