Hi there,
I would say all the MBBs have pretty strong entrepreneurial ties, not just Bain. Quite a few tech CEOs / executives are ex-McK (Sundar from Google, Sheryl from Facebook).
I work at Uber currently and it is true that a few of the top Operations executives are ex-Bain. Bain also has very strong roots in private equity of course.
