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. Toni hosted a themed lunch discussion on the importance of Equity as the foundation upon which all DEI programming should be built upon, and in this interview she shares some of the most important takeaways from that conversation.
