Doug Shipman, chief executive of the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, will return to his former corporate home at the Boston Consulting Group in July to run a company that it is buying.

Shipman, will head BrightHouse, a “purpose-driven consultancy” that Boston Consulting Group is buying, according to a release from the Boston-based company.

Both the acquisition of BrightHouse and the hiring of Shipman were announced today by the Boston Consulting Group, a Boston-based, global consulting company.

BrightHouse, which is based in Atlanta, will be a “stand-alone business unit” within The Boston Consulting Group, officials said. The founder of BrightHouse, Joey Reiman, will remain chairman.

“The company that pioneered business strategy is uniting with the company that pioneered purpose,” said Reiman, in a statement. “When the world’s top consulting firm buys the company that brings purpose to society, it’s because they know that the most important client is, in fact, humanity.”
