# Bob Sternfels

**Profile:** Global Managing Partner at **McKinsey & Company** ([[entity-mckinsey-d6]]). Per enrichment, his canonical reference is the McKinsey leadership bio; he speaks frequently on AI, productivity, and the future of work.

**Role in source:** Cited executive voice, quantifying the scale of enterprise agent adoption.

**Attributed contributions in this vault:**
- Cited for observing that McKinsey's workforce now includes **20,000 AI agents alongside 60,000 human workers** — grounding [[claim-rapid-agent-adoption]] and the [[concept-agentic-workforce]] concept.

**Caveat:** Per enrichment, Sternfels has publicly discussed AI transforming consulting and "AI colleagues," but the specific 3,000→20,000-in-18-months figure is not documented in public sources and should be treated as article-level anecdote.
