Changing the industry: Part 2 of a DE&I-focused podcast series
In this second podcast of our series devoted to the inaugural Changemakers program, presented by Google in partnership with PRWeek, PRWeek VP and editorial director Steve Barrett speaks with Rosanna Fiske, global CCO of the Royal Caribbean Group and member of the esteemed Changemakers Advisory Board.
