          • Quotes:

            “The thing is: a lot of times when it comes to people issues, people always think HR. People issues are company issues, not just HR issues, and company issues come from the top.”


            “The issue of diversity isn't divorced from the issue of business. It's the same. It’s one. It goes hand in hand. Because the issue of diversity is the issue of innovation, is the issue of change, is the issue of progress. And those things all contribute to positive culture which contribute to positive business, which contributes to more growth.”
