Starting the year off with a CNBC feature looking at our work with Colorintech and BTF® in the light of a DEI pullback. A huge shout out to Felicity Crossland for helping us land it with great work from Freddie Roberts Jerridah Akena Ben Novick and the wider Milltown Partners team. Sawdah B. and April Roach thanks for covering it all! https://lnkd.in/etVbDKgM For those who want the TLDR I said "If we think about the whole concept of growing Britain and making ourselves a more productive country, then we can’t do that by increasing disparities of productivity across particular social groups, especially when these social groups ... might be minorities, but they’re not insignificant." And Dion McKenzie more diverse workforce leads to “better products, better teams and ultimately more revenue,” McKenzie said, adding that more inclusive employers enable firms to secure the “best of the talent.”

Our founders Ashleigh Ainsley FRSA and Dion McKenzie speak to CNBC on the lack of data, funding and representation in the UK, what the DEI pullback means, and the impact our programming and BTF® is having. Also featured in the article Sarah Wernér (CEO, Husmus), Karl Lokko (Managing Partner, Black Seed), Ayesha Ofori (CEO, Propelle). Read: https://lnkd.in/gTSxQq65

Inspiring to speak at this year’s Black Tech Fest, BTF® where I was interviewed on by my dear colleague Ramat Tejani, on adapting to meet the moment and the future of leadership in such a rapidly changing landscape. Spending time with this vibrant community who are navigating their careers to add so much magic to the world of tech is always uplifting. Thank you to all who came out and showed so much love ❤️ Supporting and being cheered on by the other senior Black Leaders at Google EMEA was the icing on the cake for me 🖤Ola Fadipe Obum Ekeke OBE Alex Okosi Read more in Ricki Lee’s write up for TechInformed here: https://lnkd.in/ewD9nVz4 Special shout out to Kelsey Robb for support and good energy. ✨
