As the company's inaugural Chief Diversity Officer, I partnered with the executive team and stakeholders across the enterprise to design, implement, and sustain the DEI strategy, focused on attracting and developing a diverse workforce, investing in an inclusive workplace, and supporting the diverse customers and communities we served in the marketplace. I also led the company’s Mutually Connected culture program, including programmatic oversight of enterprise-wide culture-shaping activities and reinforcement of cultural values. Through my guidance and influence, Mutual of Omaha established DEI measurement tools and metrics, built a framework for implementation of strategic DEI initiatives, increased the diversity of its workforce, defined inclusion as a critical leadership competency, stood up 9 thriving Employee Resource Groups, engaged stakeholders across all business units in DEI action planning, and garnered prestigious local and national awards in recognition of our work in the DEI and culture-shaping space.
