            Our most important relationships depend on the mutual trust that arises from intellectual honesty.

      How we work together

              Curiosity

            Curiosity drives us to question and explore, helping us inspire others and overcome our cynicism. It is only with an eager and open mind that we recognize the greatest opportunities and experience the joy of discovery.

              Learning & Mentorship

            Bessemer recognizes that an enduring institution must continually invest in and care for its people, while ensuring an equitable, inclusive environment for individual growth. We recognize that each of us is at once a student and a teacher, with the capacity to learn and mentor throughout one’s career and in life.

              Innovation

            Courageous and independent thought spurs the innovation that keeps us ahead of the curve. We welcome divergent opinions, encourage challenges to prevailing practice, and seize opportunities to progress as an organization.

              Intellectual Honesty

            Our most important relationships depend on the mutual trust that arises from intellectual honesty. We strive to obtain and share information with a keen awareness of our cognitive and professional biases.

              Empowerment

            The effectiveness of the organization rests on each of us seizing the opportunity to take ownership of something. We empower and encourage one another to use our best judgment in the pursuit of opportunities and in confronting challenges.

              Collaboration

            Our lasting success is a result of high-performing individuals working in concert. We recognize individual performance and appreciate that our collective performance requires a selfless approach to assisting one another, a diverse team and a genuine commitment to collaboration.

          Fueled by curiosity.

            To understand the changing world around us, we practice courageous and independent thought by sharing our roadmaps.
