Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Addressing systemic issues of racism and a lack of diversity has never been more important in the workplace.  I have the experience and personal lessons learned to help leaders navigate these challenges and opportunities with compassion and courage.

The approach may vary from resolving issues that have arisen in real-time, to creating a strategic plan for recruitment, or initiating Employee Resource Groups with meaningful impact.

“Fred is an amazing leader, mentor and coach. During his tenure at 23andMe, he led our People Team and the broader organization with compassion through a series of unprecedented challenges including a pandemic, social injustice, natural calamities like wildfires, amidst our business also evolving in significant ways. He thinks strategically and critically when it comes to problem solving, is a talented and engaging communicator in writing and in person, and leverages our team to execute on multiple complex objectives timely. Fred is an advocate of diversity, equity and inclusion who is curious, receptive, and vulnerable at the same time. He demonstrated over and over again, an ability to hear many perspectives, has a point of view, and recognizes that there are instances where we can meet in the middle. As his direct report, Fred saw me and recognized my ability. It has meant so much that he trusted me to do benefits work that matters to me and to our employees. He also has a candor that allowed him to give honest feedback that made me better.”
