McKinsey promotes 28-year-old Aamanh Sehdev to partner after seven years

Aamanh Sehdev, 28, was promoted to partner at McKinsey this December after just seven years with the firm. He joined as a summer intern and became an associate partner before receiving the promotion, which is part of a smaller cohort this year due to reduced demand for consulting services. Sehdev learned of his promotion during a call from Tunde Olanrewaju, managing partner of McKinsey's UK, Ireland, and Israel offices. He celebrated with family and mentors, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the moment before returning to work. Sehdev attributes his rapid rise to a focused strategy, entrepreneurial spirit, and team-building efforts. He plans to take a trip to Australia to reflect on his achievement while maintaining a balance between work and personal life.
