As Chair of McKinsey’s Technology Council and head of the Alliances and Ecosystems practice, Yee examines how technological advancements reshape industries and our daily lives. She regularly publishes influential research, including McKinsey’s annual Technology Trends Outlook and The CEO’s Guide to Generative AI, offering insights into long-term technology shifts and their economic implications.

A highly regarded thought leader on digital disruption and sales growth, Yee is a sought-after speaker, engaging audiences at premier conferences like Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, the Makers Conference, and the Women’s Forum in France. Dedicated to elevating underrepresented talent, Yee became McKinsey’s first Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, championing the growth of women and diverse leaders within the firm and beyond. In 2015, she co-founded Women in the Workplace, an annual research initiative with LeanIn.org, which provides critical insights into gender equality in corporate America.

She also contributes her expertise to the boards of the San Francisco Ballet, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, and the advisory council of Beyond Barnard at Columbia University.

With a significant body of research on diversity and inclusion, including her coauthored work "Race in the Workplace: The Frontline Experience and Delivering Through Diversity," Yee remains a leading voice on promoting gender and racial equality. Her contributions and insights continue to shape organizational practices, enabling companies to foster inclusive cultures and leverage the potential of a diverse workforce.
