The Importance of Diversity and Inclusivity in the Crown Estate

As part of EG’s new Starting out in real estate publication, Blessings Doherty, land economy undergraduate at the University of Cambridge speaks to the Crown Estate CEO, Dan Labbad, about his journey in the sector.

The pair discuss his enduring passion for real estate and its ability to drive social change, sustainability and placemaking; the breadth of opportunity that exists for careers in the sector now compared to 30 years ago; and the ways in which young people can help to change the world for the better.

They also reflect on the power of diversity, the responsibility that comes with leadership and why it’s okay to be vulnerable.
