My work is rooted in the belief that Diversity & Inclusion research can be leveraged to make our society more inclusive and equitable. I do this work through a three-pronged approach that combines entrepreneurial, nonprofit and academic activities: Aleria (aleria.tech) is a startup that helps corporations measure inclusion to identify strategies that increase company performance and employee satisfaction. ARC (arc501c3.org) is a nonprofit conducting D&I research on the impact of D&I across many aspects of society. I am also an Adjunct Associate Professor at the New York University Stern School of Business, where I teach about D&I in the context of social entrepreneurship, and organize the annual Diversity & Inclusion Research Conference (DIRC.info). In this blog I explore some of the complexities of understanding and managing DEI and I provide useful information and practical tips to help leaders understand the value of embracing inclusion, equity and diversity in their organizations and in their personal lives.
