Biography

Gadiesh was born Orit Grunfeld in Haifa, Israel, in 1951, to a Berlin-born Israel Defense Forces Colonel Falk Gadiesh (né Grunfeld) and his Ukrainian-born wife Pninah, a nurse. Her family changed the surname Grunfeld to its Hebrew equivalent Gadiesh after requested by David Ben-Gurion.[4] She completed her compulsory IDF service in the office of the Deputy Chief of Staff Ezer Weizman. She then studied at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, graduating in 1975 with a bachelor's degree in psychology. Gadiesh graduated from Harvard Business School in 1977 in the top 5 percent of her class (Baker Scholar) and was awarded the Brown prize for the most outstanding marketing student.[5] She was elected chairman of Bain & Company in July 1993 and has been at the helm for over 30 years.[6]

Forbes has listed her among the world's 100 most powerful women four times since 2004.[7] A frequent business speaker and journal contributor, Gadiesh is co-author of Lessons from Private Equity Any Company Can Use.[8]
