Case study: BCG X

The brief

Retained by the APAC Managing Partner to replace a 20-plus person BCG X build team with a permanent leadership team for a new digital insurer. Every hire had to clear BCG X's bar and the client's, on a tight clock.

Roles

• CEO
• Head of Digital Product
• Insurance Technical Expert
• Growth Manager
• Application Development Manager
• Front End Developer
• Back End Developer

The approach

Hardest roles first: CEO, Head of Product, Insurance Technical Expert and Growth Manager. We studied successful insurtechs at home and abroad, and proven digital B2C teams. 217 people assessed. After three interview rounds and a case presentation, the insurer's CEO approved every preferred candidate. For development, we moved an existing team of three across together.
