Bruce D. Henderson (
1915-
1992) was the founder of the
Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Henderson founded BCG in
1963 in
Boston,
Massachusetts. Originally called the Management and Consulting Division of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, what became BCG was itself a subsidiary of The Boston Company. A former Bible salesman for Southwest Publishing (which his father owned for 50 years), Henderson attended the University of Virginia and then earned an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from
Vanderbilt University before attending
Harvard Business School. He left HBS ninety days before graduation to work for
Westinghouse Corporation, where he became one of the youngest vice presidents in the company's history. He was named one of Time Magazine's top 10 news makers under 30 years old.
