Kristine Romano
Managing Partner at McKinsey & CompanyKristine Romano is the Managing Partner of the Philippines office. She is the first Filipina to be elected partner in the firm globally.
She helps public- and private-sector entities in the Philippines transform operations, improve performance, and unlock growth. Increasingly, her client work involves digital strategy. She works across industries, including financial services, healthcare, education, infrastructure, transportation, consumer goods, and the public sector.
Some of Romano’s recent work in the country includes helping a leading financial-services firm in the Philippines shape its retail and commercial growth strategy, and crafting a Philippines market-entry strategy for a multinational consumer-goods company. Across the region, she also helps to improve the fiscal health of governments and state-owned enterprises (SOEs).
Her commitment to her country can be seen in her work with NGOs and government institutions. When the Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) hit the Philippines in November 2013, Kristine led McKinsey’s pro-bono work to support government agencies, NGOs, and private firms in their disaster-relief and recovery activities. She then continued to work with a private-sector-led consortium to institutionalize a coordinated response from the business community during times of disaster.
Kristine holds an MPA in International Development from Harvard Kennedy School of Government, and a BS degree in Business Administration and Accountancy from the University of the Philippines.
