Unlikely leader force behind rebirth of consulting firm
Austin American-Statesman - Friday, May 27, 1994
Author: Glenn Rifkin, NEW YORK TIMES SERVICE: AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN

EXCERPT

Orit Gadiesh , a striking Israeli with purple hair, flamboyant jewelry and short black skirts, was elected chairman in July after a 17-year Bain career that marked her as one of the company's brightest, most inventive consultants in a profession dominated by aggressive young men with Ivy League MBAs.

Gadiesh , who refuses to give her age but who acquaintances say is in her early 40s, is an intuitive, straight-talking consultant who has a reputation for staring clients in the eye and delivering the news bluntly.

Those close to Bain, including Gadiesh herself, give the credit for Bain’s revival to W. Mitt Romney , a former Bain consultant who stepped in in 1990 at the behest of the company's partners to become chief executive and straighten things out. He has since left to try politics.

But Gadiesh (pronounced GUH-deesh) took on a visible role in holding the company together at its darkest hour. “Everybody looked to her to see what she would do,” said Keith Aspinall, a Bain partner.

Two's company, three's a squeeze

They say three's a crowd, but hey, when you're hand-picked by the governor-elect to be jammed into a room, let's face it - you'll squeeze in. Here, Convention Center Authority Chairwoman Gloria Larson finds herself wedged between founding partner of Axxon Capital Sheryl Marshall, left, and Bain and Co. Chairwoman Orit Gadiesh at the Parker House announcement of Gov.-elect Mitt Romney ‘s transition team.
