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. But what they saw around them were talented women and minority MBAs struggling to gain the proper exposure and guidance so crucial to navigating the recruitment process.

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 MBAs and employers in those fields committed to strengthening their businesses by improving their diversity and inclusion efforts.
