Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. - Eleanor Roosevelt

Hélène Borgman is a Diversity & Inclusion trainer, consultant, and speaker. She specializes in D&I themes such as bias-training, inclusive leadership, intercultural communication, empowerment programs and mentoring & sponsoring programs. Prior to this, she worked as Diversity Manager for the consulting firm EY. Hélène: “I feel strongly about creating a fair and equal working environment for everyone, regardless of one's gender, race, background, sexuality or age. Creating a diverse workforce is not a goal in itself, but creating an inclusive culture, especially within the corporate realm, is what I most enjoy doing.”
