BCG - The Boston Consulting Group

BCG Barcelona opened in January 2002 and joins the Madrid and Lisbon offices as part of the Iberian network. The office is housed in a modern building in Avenida Diagonal, a vibrant neighborhood in the heart of the city's commercial and financial district.

The strong economic growth anticipated in the region, along with the city's consolidation as the country's second major business center, mean that BCG Barcelona is ideally situated to play a major role in the area's dynamic future. The office opened with the objective of enhancing our continuing relationships with a number of leading companies from Catalonia and the surrounding Mediterranean region.

BCG has been working with Catalonian clients since 1992, and has enjoyed enduring relationships with a number of both large corporations and medium size family businesses across a wide range of industries, from consumer goods to financial services, energy, private equity, media and technology and communications. In addition, BCG Barcelona is very close to the Catalan universities which are considered a key local resource and with whom the office coordinates both recruiting and research activities.

The unique Mediterranean lifestyle and its easy access to sky resorts and France make Barcelona a truly exciting place. In fact, it was recently chosen as the best city in terms of the quality of life for employees in Healey & Baker's European Cities Monitor Executive Survey 2000. The office is located in an exclusive urban area where consultants can practice sports, dine out and enjoy fine shopping within walking distance.

People in the Barcelona office are a small but very cohesive group, willing to develop a rewarding professional career within BCG while living in Barcelona. The staff cares deeply for one another, both professionally and personally, and are proud of being friends and members of an office committed to enjoying a balanced life.

Finally, Barcelona combines not only the attractiveness of a growing office, but also the availability of global resources within the Iberian system. These include project staffing, training, recruiting, and administrative support to help broaden the professional development of BCG Barcelona's staff.
