“I believe that every individual has a part to play in shaping the future. Whether it’s in the workplace or in society at large, we all have a responsibility and a right to use our talents for good.

Doing DEI right is crucial for…

…Attracting and retaining the best talent

…Leading high-performing teams

…Creativity, innovation and problem solving

…Scaling products to new markets

…Complying to new ESG regulations

…Developing responsible technology like AI

And so much more!

But DEI is not easy. Let’s be honest, DEI is hard work and comes with more complexity than most business capabilities do. And it is with that business lens, that Ingrid Tappin will shed light on how leaders can deal with these complexities and will offer a framework that can help companies amplify their DEI efforts and reap the benefits.

Ingrid Tappin

As the founder and CEO of Diverse Leaders in Tech - the very first community driven DEI Platform in the Netherlands - Ingrid Tappin is on a mission to set the standard for DEI Excellence in European tech. Through DLiT’s data-led approach, peer-to-peer learning solutions and DEI partner network, Tappin’s social impact venture helps companies attract, retain and leverage the innovation power of DEI; powered by tech and at scale. Ingrid is the daughter of a Bajan psychiatrist and Surinamese psychologist, who lived in Seattle until she was five, before her family moved to Rotterdam. From a young age Ingrid learned the importance of being able to step into many worlds and walk in many shoes. For better, and sometimes for worse she became fluent in culture code switching. During her career - in which she ran her own culture design agency, co-founded a SaaS start-up, and worked as a senior manager for Accenture’s Talent & Organization practice - Ingrid discovered the power of DEI as a driver for team performance, business success and positive societal change. As she and her wife are now raising two teenage daughters - of which one has autism/is autistic - she more than ever realizes that the future of technology is in need of more empathy, compassion and inclusion. “I believe that every individual has a part to play in shaping the future. Whether it’s in the workplace or in society at large, we all have a responsibility and a right to use our talents for good. It’s not enough to simply recognise the need for change; we must also take action to make it happen.”
