In this episode of the Business, Innovation and Technology podcast, Business Engineering Lead Jordan Rogers-Smith welcomes a panel of global colleagues to talk about building diverse teams. Alex Chan, Director of Business Engineering, APAC; Angelique Kamara, Director of Global Partner Solutions; and Christine Warner, VP, Global Partnership Management and Business Development, are the featured panelists.

The discussion centers on diversity as a driver of innovation and positive business outcomes. The panel discusses the role of remote work and geographic dispersion; how diversity and inclusion can be built into the fabric of an organization, even across remote teams; and what common barriers organizations encounter as they try to become more diverse.

The panelists also share some takeaways from their own learning journeys, from acknowledging personal privileges and biases to becoming allies for underrepresented groups. You’ll also learn why it is so critical to stay focused on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives during times of societal and economic change.
