My book ''Building Diversity and Inclusion: From commitment to action'' is out: https://bookboon.com/en/building-diversity-and-inclusion-ebook. --------------- I am an award winning D&I leader with deep subject matter expertise across industries and countries. I have developed an international career with a focus on diversity and inclusion, wellbeing and human rights. I am passionate about designing workplaces that work for everyone and linking D&I to business success. I apply an intersectional lens to D&I activities and encourage balance, belonging, allyship, wellbeing and inclusive leadership. As a global citizen who has worked and studied in 6 major cities around the world (e.g. New York, London, Basel, Paris, Amsterdam and Bucharest), I think global and act local when designing solutions. I am currently the D&I manager at Lloyd's leading our D&I and Wellbeing work. Previously, I worked for the Royal Academy of Engineering where I led the internal D&I programme and the external D&I Progression Framework programme focusing on professional institutions and members of the Science Council. I hold an MA in Women’s History from Sarah Lawrence College, USA and was a visiting scholar at Columbia University in the City of New York. I have been selected as a Global Champion for Women’s Economic Empowerment by UN Women. I am a One Young World Ambassador. One Young World identifies, connects and promotes young leaders, giving them a global platform. I am also a Salzburg Global Fellow. This is a transatlantic programme which brings present and future leaders to solve issues of global concern. Notable Salzburg Fellows include Hillary Clinton and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I have spoken about D&I at organisations such as the British Embassy in Italy, Rolls Royce, EY, NHS, Lean In London, Warwick University, University of Bath, Queen Mary University, BMS, the Royal Aeronautical Society as well as numerous national and global conferences (e.g. D&I Changemakers conference, NetExpat Global Mobility and D&I conference, 2022 Global Inclusion).
