In this episode I spoke with Victoria Toney-Robinson, a senior programme manager at Google including Google's Black Founders Fund in Europe . We discussed...

- What challenges do minority founders and CEOs face compared with ‘traditional’ founders.
-  Why products need to be built by everyone if  we want them to work for everyone.
How you can remain an activist + still work in the corporate sector
- Why are companies resistant to discussions around diversity
-  How diversity is important to business leadership and setting future benchmarks
- Why reporting what success looks like needs to change to mean that businesses are more inclusive.
