- An employee-run, multi-day backpacking trip has become a hot ticket at McKinsey
Alex Harman co-founded Mind Over Mountains, an initiative that organizes multi-day backpacking trips for McKinsey colleagues worldwide. These non-official retreats take participants to locations like Patagonia, Kilimanjaro, and the Peaks of the Balkans. The trips raise money for charity, offering attendees a chance to fully disconnect from work life while connecting with various levels of colleagues.
