"DEI is not only about race; it's about bringing in the right skillset from different backgrounds and people with transferable skills. And then, once they're there, we have to be clearly and strategically focused on how to retain that talent." Adrianne C. Smith, SVP and Senior Partner, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at FleishmanHillard, and Founder of Cannes Can: Diversity Collective. During the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, Micah (Mee-kah) Gebreyes, Senior Manager, Content Marketing at Greenhouse, met with Adrianne at Greenhouse's Talent Makers Circle at Inkwell Beach to discuss how to shape a more inclusive future for the advertising and creative communications industry.
