Our Team
HGVCG is a student-run group dedicated to both serving our clients and providing students with a unique learning opportunity. Each 8 week engagement is headed by an experienced Engagement Manager and two Principals, who select a customized team of Harvard and MIT graduate students and research fellows to meet the client’s specific needs. We expect a 15 hours per week commitment from each team member, which amounts to over 1000 person-hours per engagement.
If you are interested in making a real-world impact through an intense, hands-on experience in management consulting, look out for opportunities to join our team in March 2018.
