Founder and CEO of Diverse Leaders in Tech
“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.”

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
