Session: From passion project to boardroom: Key learnings from creating an award-winning DEI approach in a tech consultancy Futurice
In this talk I will share my key learnings and insights based on my experience of spearheading the transformation of a Nordic tech consultancy into an inclusive organisation with award-winning DEI practices. I will show with concrete examples which projects were the most impactful in making the change happen both culturally but also in the business. You'll walk away with an understanding of how to increase inclusion with simple and adaptable actions, and an open-source tool to create more inclusive digital products and services in a business savvy way.
Bio
I am a DEI leader, change maker and a keynote speaker. In my latest role I have been spearheading the transformation of Futurice into a diverse and inclusive company as the Head of DEI.
My 20 year career spans from employer branding and talent acquisition to leadership development, learning & training and multiple other aspects of HR, but I truly believe that I have found my passion and sweet spot in DEI. All my previous experiences give me solid understanding on how to apply DEI thinking into different aspects of culture, HR and business operations. Although I have always liked what I do and believed that I can make a difference, working with DEI gives me such an elevated sense of purpose and belief that I can make the world a better place for someone every single day.
