I don't know about “McKinsey infiltration into many a large F100+” first-hand, but from context I'd guess it's simply getting consultants from McKinsey & Company[0] jobs in the ‘infiltrated’ firm, on the basis that it has

Interesting; can you or someone please elaborate? I thought that device-specific drivers wouldn't be needed for the vast majority of audio interfaces, because they're connected via USB and all they need to do to ‘just work’ upon p
