Interview
One of Dell’s first female leaders in EMEA, Benedikte Leroy believes that lawyers can be powerful advocates for diversity in business. She talks us through some of the company’s key programmes for change.
At Dell, we believe that we can serve our customers better by reflecting them, and we also believe that if you create an inclusive environment, you’re likely to be more innovative. So for us, D&I is very much a business imperative.
It really starts at the top – we have a global diversity council that Michael Dell, our founder and CEO, chairs and our two presidents in EMEA, Aongus Hegarty and Adrian McDonald, are also very much engaged. You’ve got to have buy-in from the leadership. If they’re not fully committed, you will struggle to make any change.
