In our sixth episode of season 2, we speak with Karen Loon, Non-Executive Director and Author.

Karen is a thought leader and speaker on workplace diversity and inclusion. She had a successful corporate career for 29 years, and then transitioned into board roles. She was formerly PwC’s Singapore and Asia Pacific Diversity Leader and a member of its Global Diversity Leadership Team and Global Financial Services Diversity Steering Committee. 

She recently wrote a book called Fostering Culturally Diverse Leadership in Organizations: Lessons from Those Who Smashed the Bamboo Ceiling. The book was a finalist in the 2023 Business Book Awards, International Book section.

Karen shares her views about what it takes to transition through different career identities. She also speaks of her research on the need for organisations to foster greater cultural diversity to enable greater representation at the top.
