Strategies for Building a Diverse Strategy Team

As much as companies promise and commit to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, the reality is corporate strategy, especially at the senior level, remains a male-dominated field. Some chief strategy officers have made it their mission to change that reality. In this episode, we hear from two of them. Alok Agrawal, Chief Strategy Officer & Head of Ventures at Celestica, and Nicolas Chapman, former EVP and Chief Strategy Officer of Teradata, have made tremendous strides in shifting the diversity levels of their strategy offices. Today’s discussion is moderated by another diversity-focused strategy leader, Kalina Nikolova, SVP of Business Operations and Strategy at Yahoo. These CSOs will share the real hurdles they overcome to bring more diverse hiring to their strategy function.  

From them, you’ll learn: 

-Advice from successful CSOs on how to set realistic objectives to support your DEI hiring initiatives 

-How to influence and work with HR to fill your hiring pipeline with more diverse candidates
