  I am an experienced & passionate Diversity & Inclusion professional of over 16 years, building cultures of allyship, inclusion and belonging.

I joined Microsoft in 2020 after over 15 years at EY, where I joined the firm's Diversity & Inclusiveness team in 2007 after several years in EY’s Human Capital team. Before joining EY, I spent 4.5 years at Fidelity International, including time working in India on offshoring projects. I'm proud to have been named in the UK Pride Power List 2016 - 2023. Education-wise, I hold a BSc International Studies (Hons) degree from the Open University which I achieved during my time at EY and have more recently achieved a Level 7 Award in Strategic Approaches to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and previously a Level 6 Award in Leadership and Management both from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

  Carla Otero de Aresti

  Inclusion and Diversity Leader
  WTW

  Aliada desde hace mucho tiempo. El motivo que me llevó a tomar esta decisión fue “que sé que es lo correcto. Ser aliada es algo que me lo exige mi conciencia. Tenemos que favorecer una sociedad más justa y no mirar para otro lado si aún sigue existiendo algún tipo de discriminación. No me perdonaría el hecho de pensar que estuvo en mi mano y no hice nada para cambiarlo”.

  Kenneth Dickhudt

  Operations Specialist
  FINRA

  I enjoy working in financial regulation and love learning more about the subject. I believe that robust and well functioning financial regulatory regimes are essential to both the global economy and for the regular person (like me!) to save money and build wealth.
