Quotes:

“You can tell a story about who you are as a company to a consumer and say, ‘we are you,’ . . . but if you can’t say that because you’re not diverse, then you’re missing the point!”

“Defining what diversity means [is critical]. What does it mean to the organization, because ‘diversity’ could mean on or multiple things, and having one of a person isn’t enough.”
