Mayor Pete Buttigieg released the names of the clients he worked for during his time at consulting firm McKinsey and Company Tuesday, as the 2020 candidate faces mounting scrutiny over his work for the controversial company. Buttigieg revealed that his clients during his stint at McKinsey, where he worked straight out of graduate school before joining the U.S. military, included Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Department of Defense. “Now, voters can see for themselves that my work amounted to mostly research and analysis,” Buttigieg said in a statement. “They can also see that I value both transparency and keeping my word.” Buttigieg's work for McKinsey, the candidate explained in an interview with the Atlantic, included helping Canadian grocery chain Loblaws figure out how to cut prices, advising Best Buy on energy-efficient projects, and working on a report concerning energy efficiency for various U.S. agencies. The then-consultant also worked in Iraq and Afghanistan for the DOD, where he studied economic development and aided businesses in the region. “In Iraq, it had to do with a lot of state-owned enterprises that were learning to function in the post-Saddam world, helping them with basic stuff like business planning that just hadn’t been done in the style of international business norms, because it was a quasi-socialist system over there,” Buttigieg explained. “In Afghanistan, they knew how to do business, but then there was a lot of trouble scaling it. So we were working more on figuring out how to help businesses grow.” Buttigieg's first client for McKinsey was Blue Cross Blue Shield, where Buttigieg said his work focused primarily on “feeding math into ‘a PowerPoint that my manager would take and then bring to a partner who I imagine eventually presented something to a decision maker.’” Other clients included the U.S. Postal Service, where Buttigieg analyzed new revenue sources, and the National Resources Defense Council. The disclosure of Buttigieg's McKinsey clients comes as the candidate had been dogged in recent weeks about his campaign's lack of transparency, from the New York Times editorial board calling on Buttigieg to release his clients in an op-ed, to protesters at an Iowa campaign event. The mayor's loudest critic, however, has been 2020 rival Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has attacked Buttigieg's non-disclosure of his clients and closed-door fundraisers as the two battle for the Iowa vote. “There are some candidates who want to distract from the fact that they have not released the names of their clients and have not released the names of their bundlers,” Warren sa
