Profile of the Ulysses participant

Ulysses participants are selected from the ranks of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) partners around the world on the basis of their leadership skills and potential within the local firm.

  • Participants are PwC partners in their first ten years of partnership.
  • Participants originate from different regions and countries.
  • Their expertise varies across accounting and finance, strategy, tax advisory and management consultancy.

Ulysses is designed for top performers with a keen interest in further developing their leadership capability through participation in a demanding programme.

    Many Ulysses participants are high-performing women. The programme is a key part of PwC's commitment to retaining and developing female talent into positions of leadership, an initiative which is led globally by the Gender Advisory Council. The two programmes are closely connected: Global CEO Sam DiPiazza also serves on the Global Private Sector Leaders Advisory Council for the World Bank Group's Gender Action Plan, which is sponsoring a forthcoming Ulysses project in Tanzania.

Also, several Ulysses participants have contributed to the Gender Advisory Council's thought leadership blog, The Gender Agenda:
