1. What would you like to contribute to the Diversity Charter Sweden Board?
– I want to contribute through my own, and Swedbank’s, strong commitment to diversity and inclusion. I also have extensive experience of driving strategic initiatives and putting them into practice. My driving force is to constantly improve and make a difference – qualities and experiences that I hope will also prove valuable at the Diversity Charter.
2. Why should a company join Diversity Charter Sweden?
- There are few companies today that don't say they are working on diversity and inclusion, and I think most management and boards have realised the business benefits of having a diverse workforce. However, many are still struggling to get there. The Diversity Charter offers exactly that - knowledge and experience sharing between companies and organisations and also an international perspective that is so important for large parts of the Swedish business community. In my opinion, a company should not be able to say that it is seriously working with diversity and inclusion if it is not a member of the Diversity Charter!
3. Unexpected feature?
- I love dancing and have in my youth danced both ballet and Latin and standard dances. Today I settle for classes that include choreography at the gym and a disco dance floor when there is a party 😊.
