Caroline Webb Email & Phone Number

Caroline provides in-depth coaching services to a select number of clients at C-Suite level to help them be the best leaders they can be. Over the last two decades, Caroline has coached senior leaders on every continent and in a wide range of roles, including CEOs, founders, managing partners, NGO heads, and public sector officials up to Secretary of State level. Caroline typically begins working with clients when they are facing a new strategic challenge or opportunity and are interested in raising their leadership game to meet the moment, but she often goes on working with leaders for years as they move through different roles and phases in their career. Caroline’s consulting and analytical background means that she is able to go beyond the role of a traditional executive coach and can act as a broad confidential sounding board for her clients – whether they are reshaping their organizational structure and values, rethinking how to approach strategic planning, evolving their team composition and culture, improving their people processes, cultivating and deepening Board relationships, or seeking stronger ways to communicate their ideas. These are all topics on which Caroline has provided counsel to her current clients, alongside the behavioral and interpersonal support that is core to all good leadership coaching. She also takes on occasional speaking engagements and teaches online courses to provide support to wider groups of leaders. Visit carolinewebb.co to learn more about Caroline's work.

In her early years at McKinsey, Caroline's work involved a wide range of strategic and organizational change consulting projects. Her strongest interest was always in how to support the leaders making change happen. So in 2004, she co-founded McKinsey’s leadership practice with three colleagues. In the years after that she served clients around the world on leadership-related topics, and played a pivotal role in defining McKinsey’s approach to leadership development and coaching. For example, she created and led McKinsey's global service line on executive team effectiveness; she co-led and scaled McKinsey’s personal leadership effectiveness service line, known as ‘Centered Leadership’; and she founded McKinsey’s flagship leadership development course for senior female clients, the Remarkable Women Program. Over her 12 years at the firm, Caroline developed a reputation for designing and delivering high-impact interventions to transform the leadership capacity and performance culture of her client organizations. Her work was always tightly linked to the wider strategic, organizational or operational changes her clients were seeking to make, blending technical and business-focused discussions with 'softer' behavioral change work. Her client engagements would usually take one of the following forms: large-scale leadership development programs for senior management; workshops and coaching to improve the effectiveness of executive teams and boards; 1-1 coaching for C-suite leaders; creation and facilitation of networks allowing CEOs to learn from their peers. Caroline was one of the leaders of McKinsey's healthcare practice but also worked across a wide range of industries including professional services, private equity, energy, banking, consumer goods, media, retail and the public sector.

The mission of 8B is to provide affordable college financing to exceptional African students attending leading global universities. 8B understands the unique frustrations faced by countless African students who receive offers from world-class universities but fail to enroll for a lack of funding. 8B approaches student finance as a long-term investment in the human capital necessary for the sustainable development of the continent. To support our mission, we address student needs along three critical pathways. First, we provide high-performing students the resources to navigate the tortuous process of college application. Second, we provide gap funding using Guaranteed Loans and Income Share Agreements in a market-based approach that aligns incentives between socially oriented capital and for-profit investors. And lastly, we connect our students to a network of mentors and leaders across a diverse range of global industries.
