Since joining McKinsey in 2011, Vaibhav has helped clients across Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas as they define, develop, and progress sustainability aspirations. He also supports leading organizations, across a wide variety of sectors to transform operations—particularly in procurement.
Vaibhav leads McKinsey Sustainability’s insights team in Asia, which advises clients on managing the risks and capturing the opportunities arising from energy transition. He helps organizations define sustainability goals—including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria—and develop a roadmap to put these into practice. Typically, such roadmaps include measures to reduce environmental footprints and identify opportunities to build new businesses from energy transition.

For instance, he has helped organizations in the oil and gas, mining, infrastructure, and logistics sectors transform operations through tech-enabled procurement.
