Leadership Development
Diversity-focused leadership development programs — sponsorship of high-potential talent from underrepresented groups, leadership accelerators, and board diversity initiatives.
Leadership Development
LaabamOne's leadership development programs are designed with a clear diversity mandate: ensure that our leadership pipeline reflects the diversity of our 500+ person workforce and the global markets we serve. Our programs target high-potential professionals from underrepresented groups and provide them with the skills, exposure, and sponsorship needed to advance into senior roles.
The LaabamOne Leadership Accelerator is an intensive 12-month program for mid-career professionals identified through our talent review process. Participants receive executive coaching, cross-functional project assignments, board exposure sessions, and a culminating capstone project presented to our senior leadership team across India, Ireland, and Australia.
We also invest in external leadership development — sponsoring participation in industry conferences, executive education at leading business schools, and professional certification programs. These investments ensure our leaders bring world-class perspectives back to our clients and teams, reinforcing our Big 4-quality promise.

Diverse Leaders Drive Results
Research consistently shows that diverse leadership teams outperform homogeneous ones. At LaabamOne, our commitment to developing leaders from varied backgrounds has directly contributed to stronger client relationships, more innovative solutions, and deeper market insight across the 7 industries we serve.
Over the past three years, 40% of our leadership promotions have come from Accelerator alumni, and our goal is to reach 50% women in senior leadership by 2028. These are not aspirational targets — they are tracked quarterly and reported to our board.
