Centering Equity in your DEI Journey — A Conversation with Toni Lowe of Huge

At the most recent edition of the North American HR Executive Summit we sat down with Toni Lowe, the Chief Diversity Equity Inclusion Officer at Huge, a creative consultancy that works with organizations ranging from Google and Nike to Audi and the NBA.
