JumpStart Advisory Group fills a critical network gap in connecting a talented diverse workforce to career progression opportunities with companies representing key industries and functions.
The JumpStart Advisory Group* was founded by Duke MBAs John Burt and Elton Ndoma-Ogar who collectively garnered nearly 20 job offers during the recruiting season. Putting their game plan and execution approach to print in the form an article and several individual discussions or speaking engagements, there was a significant challenge ahead.
They also observed a lack of diversity in the financial services and consulting industries. So in 2004, the partners formed the JumpStart Advisory Group to create a pipeline between highly qualified candidates and employers in those fields committed to strengthening their businesses by improving diversity and inclusion efforts.
