Background

About Elyssa Back

I am a social entrepreneur at heart, bringing passion, deep consulting and technology experience to my current role in the Social Impact practice at BCG. I am proud to have led operational and strategic programs for a diverse mix of non-profits, start-up technology, consulting and Fortune 500 companies; including Amazon, Wayfair, IBM and Solid Ground. I have been a lecturer at Babson College on Technology and Operations Management, as well as having contributed to academic and corporate research efforts, including two published book chapters on Environmental Philosophy. Before my current role, I spent more than six years in BCG’s Corporate M&A practice, supporting clients and serving as the operational leader for the N. America business. I am currently part of the core product team for BCG’s Social Impact practice. My cross-sector activity has profoundly shaped my world view and the positive impact that I strive to create in all that I do. I am grateful for the incredible opportunities I’ve experienced throughout my career and being able to support others to access new possibilities in their own careers is something that deeply matters to me.
