Sagar Goel

Fellow, Reskilling In the Age of AI

Sagar Goel is a Managing Director and Partner and a BHI Fellow based in BCG’s Singapore office. Sagar was named a BHI Fellow in 2022 and has focused his research on Reskilling In the Age of AI.

His research explores how to design and manage ecosystems for outcome-based skilling at speed and scale, codifying the key success factors for how employers, governments, academia, non-profits, and individuals can best work together to solve the global skills crisis.

He has led several large-scale skilling programs for BCG’s clients, including the recent work with the Singapore government on a national-level digital reskilling program. He is an advisor to CHROs, business leaders, and governments globally on building their talent and workforce advantage.

Sagar is a frequent speaker on these topics and his work has also been published in leading publications including Harvard Business Review. An in-depth study on how companies are reskilling their employees in an era of automation and AI, co-authored by Sagar, has won the 2023 HBR Prize.

Outside of work, Sagar enjoys playing tennis and spending time exploring new things about himself and the world through improv.
