Disney “Diz” Petit


Co-Founder and CEO, LiquiDonate


San Francisco, CA

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Tenacious. I asked my team for the answer to this question and this was voted the most. I think it’s very kind of them to say it, and I’ll own it. We keep trying and pushing change and innovation in this industry, and we have to keep going while trying to do the right thing.

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?


It is crucial for business leaders to prioritize social impact because today’s and future consumers expect impact as table stakes for companies they are willing to do business with.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?


Yes! LiquiDonate has pledged 1% of our company time, product, and equity to nonprofits through Pledge 1%.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


Be willing to do multiple things in your role (even if it’s outside of the scope of your role) to see what you like that might surprise you.

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?


Continue pushing on VC’s and other investors to require more equitable funding of female-founded companies.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


When you start a new role, create a Google Doc where you keep a running list of all of the things that you accomplished so that when you get to your performance review or to update a resume, your accomplishments will be there with specific examples and numbers.

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


I am looking forward to continuing to grow LiquiDonate over the course of the year.

Heather Jin


Global Head of Social Impact and Sustainability, Medallia


London, UK

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Resilient. I am so grateful to my parents for fostering this quality. Growing up, I moved 6 times with my family – including immigrating from Japan to the US when I was 7 years old and attending to 3 different high schools. Through these moves, I learned to find opportunities in change – to meet new people, learn new perspectives, and gain empathy. In the work environment, I believe my resiliency is my superpower as I leverage change (whether it’s a new team, leader, office location, project, etc.) as an opportunity to find solutions.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?


As I lead our Social Impact and Sustainability practices, my north star is finding the common ground among: what the community needs, what our employees need, and what our business wants to achieve.

For the Social Impact practice, that looks like leveraging Medallia’s superpowers — our people, product, and capital — to support nonprofits that our employees are passionate about. In fiscal year 2023, we donated over $1.1M to support 50+ nonprofits globally and increased employee volunteerism by 60% and fundraising by 111% since September 2021.

For the Sustainability practice, that looks like partnering cross-functionally to determine how we can meaningfully reduce our emissions. Medallia recently committed to becoming net-zero by 2040, becoming the first Experience company with such a commitment. We also committed to set near-term targets with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), so we’re excited to establish our path to net zero grounded in the latest climate science.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


On the theme of change, one of the best advice I received to help navigate organizational change is to ensure you have a deck at all times that outlines the who, what, why of your role. This deck showcases who you are, what you or your Team has achieved already, and why it’s important to continue investing in the Team. That way, any new leader or teammate can immediately know how to work best with you or your Team.

“On the theme of change, one of the best advice I received to help navigate organizational change is to ensure you have a deck at all times that outlines the who, what, why of your role.”

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


Each year, I set one word as my theme for the year. For 2024, my theme is “peace”. To me, that means finding joy in the little moments; finding balance among priorities for work, family, community, and myself; and building day to day habits to help achieve this balance.

Michèle Warmbrodt


Director, Investor Relations, Appfire Technologies


Zürich, Switzerland

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Self-starter. I love being challenged and excel in an environment where I can take initiative and actively contribute to achieving goals. That’s why I enjoy working in a growth company like Appfire so much. I work with awesome humans and can help building this amazing business that will last for generations.

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?


I do! As Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben used to say “With great power comes great responsibility”.

Companies and large organizations have the resources to accomplish exponentially more than individuals, and as a result bear the responsibility to do so. Moreover, we live in an increasingly globalized world where state legislation is reaching its limits and companies can easily source socially and environmentally questionable activities to less regulated countries.

I believe it to be a moral imperative that particularly large international organizations address their social and environmental responsibilities and act as role models.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?


Yes! Be Human is our number one value at Appfire and in 2022, we have launched our community-driven Corporate Social Responsibility initiative, called Appfire Town. Appfire Town impacted 942 organizations in 2023, volunteering 4,000+ collective hours, and donating $550,000 to charitable causes. We also donate millions of dollars worth of product licenses each year to nonprofit organizations and academic institutions.

The most recent Appfire Town initiative I helped organize took place in December 2023. At the Zürich holiday party, we packed parcels containing food and hygiene product which we donated to the Swiss Red Cross for people affected by poverty. Every employee at Appfire is encouraged to organize and participate in initiatives that support social and environmental causes. Currently, a co-worker and I are organizing a blood donation campaign for our Swiss team.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


Get out of your comfort zone and just do it! At the beginning of my career, I was lucky enough to work with people who recognized my potential and believed in me. They encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and take on new responsibilities that felt overwhelming at first.

“Get out of your comfort zone and just do it!”

When I succeeded I learned that I grow best when I am being challenged, and that helped me build the confidence I needed to proactively take ownership of my career.

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?


There are many things that come to mind, but two of the most important are:

1. Increase the visibility of women in the workplace, especially in industries that are dominated by men. This can encourage other women to enter that industry and help create an equal work environment and culture. By the way, this also applies to other minorities.

2. Promote the compatibility of work and parenthood. Often the availability of childcare services is limited and many companies only offer full-time positions that do not allow employees to work and care for their children. As it is common in many cultures for mothers to bear the main responsibility for raising children, women tend to scale back their careers when their first child arrives. This not only affects the career opportunities of these women, but also leads to qualified workers leaving the labor market and companies being left without them.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


The same advice I received when I started my career: Get out of your comfort zone and just do it!

As young professionals, especially women, we tend to underestimate ourselves and therefore hold ourselves back from realizing our full potential. But let me tell you, if you work hard enough and believe in yourself, chances are you will succeed. And that holds true throughout your entire career. Apply for that job you don’t think you’re experienced enough for, volunteer to speak in front of your entire team, tell your manager you want to take on more responsibility. Whatever it is, just do it!

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


My resolution for this year is to submit a short story to a writing competition. I love to write but never felt brave enough to let anyone read it. This year is going to be the first time I’m opening up my writing to others and I’m so much looking forward to that experience.

Aniekeme Patience Bassey


Growth Marketing Manager, Orokii


Lagos, Nigeria

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Resilient. There was a time in my life when I faced significant challenges, both personally and professionally. Despite the obstacles, I refused to give up. Instead, I persevered, adapting to each setback with determination and resolve.

Whether it was navigating through tough times in my career or overcoming personal hardships, my resilience allowed me to keep pushing forward. This quality not only helped me weather the storms but also taught me valuable lessons about strength, perseverance, and the power of resilience in the face of adversity.

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?


Today’s corporate leaders hold significant influence over societal well-being. Prioritizing social impact isn’t just noble; it’s essential for fostering a sustainable future. By aligning business strategies with societal needs, leaders can inspire purpose, attract top talent, and build stronger relationships with customers who value ethical practices.

Integrating social impact initiatives isn’t just about doing good; it’s about ensuring long-term success and relevance in an increasingly conscientious market. It’s about creating a legacy of positive change that extends far beyond profit margins.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?


Absolutely, giving back to the community is a fundamental aspect of both my team’s and my personal ethos. At our company, we’ve implemented initiatives to support the community, ranging from volunteer programs to charitable donations.

One particular experience that stands out is when our team contributed to a fundraising event for a local charity. We collaborated with community members, organized a fun-filled event, and raised a significant amount of money for a worthy cause. It was incredibly rewarding to see the positive impact we could make when we come together as a team to support our community.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


One specific example that resonates with me is when a good friend once told me, “Don’t be afraid to fail; be afraid of not trying.” This simple yet profound advice has encouraged me to take risks, pursue my passions, and push beyond my comfort zone. It has empowered me to approach challenges with courage, resilience, and a growth mindset.

“Don’t be afraid to fail; be afraid of not trying.”

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?


Fostering an inclusive company culture is crucial for creating a supportive workplace where women feel valued, respected and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents.

To achieve this, companies should prioritize promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives, offering unconscious bias training to employees, and establishing employee resource groups that focus on women’s advancement. By implementing these strategies, companies can ensure that they are creating an environment that promotes gender equality and encourages female employees to thrive and succeed within the organization.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


Be Confident in Your Abilities: Believe in yourself and your capabilities. You have valuable skills, knowledge, and perspectives to offer, so don’t hesitate to speak up, share your ideas, and take on new challenges with confidence. Advocate for Yourself: Take ownership of your career development by actively seeking out opportunities for growth, advancement, and recognition.

Don’t be afraid to advocate for yourself, whether it’s negotiating salary, asking for feedback, or pursuing new opportunities within your organization.

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


This year, I am eagerly anticipating a combination of personal and professional milestones. On the personal front, I feel a growing sense of excitement as I prepare for a significant life event that fills me with anticipation and joy. Professionally, I am enthusiastic about achieving various goals and milestones, embracing new opportunities, and overcoming challenges with determination. Overall, I am looking forward to a year filled with growth, fulfillment, and meaningful experiences.

Erin Dieterich


Sr. Director, ESG & Social Impact, New Relic


Portland, Oregon, USA

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Creator. I’ve had the opportunity throughout my career to start with a blank slate, build the strategy, vision, programs and team and execute on the Social Impact and ESG portfolio. Seeing the work emerge out of ideas, and finding the connective pieces through the business – while selling and influencing internally to get alignment and get to launch drives me forward.

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?


There has never been a more important time to continue to press for the important role companies can have in making a positive impact on the world. I’m thrilled that we’ve moved into a new chapter where there are lots of examples of companies doing well and doing good – these examples help us know that it’s not one or the other, it’s both. If strategically aligned corporate social impact work can and should support the problems the company is trying to solve.

Social Impact work can also bring customers and employees to the table, increase retention, attraction and innovation and help build culture and brand.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


One piece of advice I think about a lot is ‘to thrive in this work you need to be patiently persistent’.

This work doesn’t always get top priority, not everyone understands it right away – but you still stick with it, you chip away, find your influential champions and you keep going. Sometimes I’ve had to really work hard on the patience side of this – it’s so hard to see the opportunity and not be able to grab it right away. But being patient, and understanding that any company has seasons and it’s not always the right season to push a new program/initiative, etc has been critical in succeeding. Patience is key in knowing and thriving in the fact that some pieces are going to take longer than others to put in place, but you don’t sit back and forget the opportunity – that’s the persistence piece, you keep at it, finding the new angle, the different path forward, looking for the piece or the person whose challenge is shared so you can both succeed together.

“To thrive in this work you need to be patiently persistent.”

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?


We can ask more questions about what women want, what they need and what their ideas are.

We can action those ideas and give the person whose idea it was the reigns to lead. As a female ESG leader, I try to connect with other women leaders in the space as much as I can — and to provide advice, ideas, opportunities to bounce ideas off of each other, or a place to find camaraderie and connection and make folks feel less alone in their work.

I know, in return I am so thankful for all the women who do this and have done this for me – I think of them as my unofficial team – we’re all building each other up, and pulling for each other to succeed.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


Don’t be too concerned with what the pathway is – how many years you think you should be in each roll, what titles you should have. Don’t let the destination (be it a title, a company) be more important than what you learn along the way.

Read everything, soak in the information, understand the company you are working for, and the industry you’re in. ESG role require you to understand the business, that means all of it – be curious – ask questions, make connections and offer support and help where you can. You don’t have to have a Social Impact, Sustainability or ESG role to do this work – you can find a company you are passionate about and be an leader from any role.

Neeti Mehta Shukla


Co-Founder, Chief Social Impact Officer, Automation Anywhere


San Jose, CA

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Maverick. My mind constantly ventures beyond conventional boundaries. As an entrepreneur entrenched in the tech sphere, I’ve come to relish uncovering solutions that anticipate future needs or tackle challenges the industry hasn’t even encountered yet.

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?


It’s imperative for all organizations to align both purpose-driven values and business objectives for long-term success. Giving back to our communities isn’t just morally right; it’s also a strategic imperative. This principle holds even greater importance in the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) as we continue to innovate with new products and services.

Leaders must seize this opportunity to uplift society as a whole, thereby addressing the widening wealth gap and enhancing productivity. For example, when developing AI-based financial solutions, it’s essential to consider datasets and strategies that serve all segments of society, including minorities and underserved regions. By prioritizing economic uplift, reskilling initiatives, and inclusivity, we can foster increased productivity and prosperity for everyone.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?


Automation Anywhere’s Social Impact Office is committed to giving back to the community through our three pillars: Tech Access, Human Economic Uplift, and Community Investments. As part of our Tech Access initiative, we’re using our products and expertise to drive tech for good initiatives that solve global social challenges and help organizations do more.

In Ukraine, we partnered with the Center for Humanitarian Technology to deliver expedited humanitarian relief, supporting over 40,000+ refugees to receive aid faster. As part of our Human Economic Uplift work, we are helping transition marginalized communities to the jobs of the future.

Our partner Sapphire Systems leveraged our educational resources to provide an 8-week automation training program with Toti Diversidades, a free Brazilian platform dedicated to teaching and fostering inclusivity for refugees in the tech sector. And finally, as part of our Community Investment pillar, our employees are giving back to their communities through our Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program. In 2023, our employees supported 180 nonprofits through giving and volunteering.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?


As a woman executive, a mentor once advised me to embrace the chaos of juggling motherhood, career, and family life. Once I adopted this mindset, I stopped striving for a perfect balance. I realized that each aspect of my life requires varying amounts of energy and time, and that’s perfectly okay.

“As a woman executive, a mentor once advised me to embrace the chaos of juggling motherhood, career, and family life.”

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?


AI is revolutionizing our world, presenting a tremendous opportunity for change. We have the chance to overcome societal biases against women by shaping the datasets used to develop new AI products and services. This allows us to accelerate progress that might have otherwise taken decades to achieve.

For instance, by ensuring that healthcare datasets are equally representative, we can mitigate biases in our healthcare products. This means innovations in healthcare will address issues faced by all genders. To drive this change, it’s crucial to empower more women through upskilling and reskilling initiatives, enabling them to participate fully in the digital economy. Inclusion is key.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


Just keep learning and growing. Tune out the noise and naysayers.

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


I love walking holidays and aim to indulge in more of them this year. On the professional front, I aspire to expand Automation Anywhere’s Social Impact Office, which has already played a pivotal role in upskilling over 800,000 individuals and supporting The World Economic Forum‘s reskilling initiatives through our partnerships. We remain dedicated to collaborating with nonprofits to enhance their productivity using our intelligent automation platform, mirroring the corporate world’s efforts, as this contributes to the betterment of society as a whole.

As a Pledge 1% company, our Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program – where every employee gets four paid days a year to volunteer to a nonprofit of their choice – has become a cornerstone of our employee engagement. I’m so excited to keep expanding our impact programs as well as consistently reinforcing our market position and leadership.

Deena White Tearney


Chief Executive Officer, Pacific Point


Honolulu, HI USA

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why?


Thankful. As a founder, I’ll never forget the intense gratitude I felt the first times I went onsite to meet with clients. Back when I worked for Big 5 consulting firms, going onsite for client meetings seemed fairly unremarkable, but I personally learned the work it took to get to that point and was proud knowing clients saw the value and expertise of our services. I’m very thankful for our clients and team who choose to work with Pacific Point.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like?


Pacific Point’s corporate philanthropy is focused on inspiring and cultivating the next generation of business and technology leaders. This year we are thrilled to sponsor the Maui Economic Development Board‘s Annual STEM Conference bringing junior high and high school students from across Hawaii together to participate in workshops, presentations, and mentoring sessions. Our Hawaii-based team of Salesforce consultants are a consistent force, volunteering at the STEM Conference in student mentoring sessions.

This year we are also very excited to sponsor the initiation of the University of Hawaii at Manoa Salesforce Student Group and look forward to preparing students for technology jobs and supporting our clients in Hawaii with a stronger pipeline to local Salesforce talent.

Our Singapore team plans to continue volunteer support for the United Women Singapore’s annual STEM Fest, exposing girls from age 13 to technology skills and careers. College students are the focus of our Denver team’s support for various student programs at the University of Colorado Boulder including volunteering with the Salesforce Student Group in addition to sponsoring and volunteering at the annual CU Boulder low-code hack-a-thon.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


At the start of your career focus on learning and developing skills, ask to take on assignments and always do excellent work. This will build your own confidence and position you for more career growth.

“At the start of your career focus on learning and developing skills, ask to take on assignments and always do excellent work.”

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


I’m especially inspired by the modernization initiatives of our public sector clients and can’t wait to help more agencies achieve their vision of improved public services and internal efficiency in 2024.

SVP, Climate & Innovation Philanthropy, Salesforce


Bend, OR

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why? Please explain with a short story or example.


I am a builder. I was one of the founding members of Pledge 1% and I remember the excitement we all shared for building something new – it’s part of the reason why we called our community the “Builders” movement. That excitement never left.

To this day, my favorite part of my job and of my team is our insatiable appetite for building new programs, partnerships, coalitions–you name it!

1.jpg



Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?


Social impact is non negotiable for companies in 2024. What inspires me about companies like Salesforce and Pledge 1% is the idea of building impact into your company’s DNA on Day 1.

In the beginning, you give what you can, and it might not feel like much. But over time, it can really multiply. That said, we know impact programs alone cannot solve all the challenges we face. They need to be in coordination and collaboration with all the levers a company has to pull, like purchasing, policy and products. This is how you really move the needle and make change at scale.

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?


When you’re evaluating a role, pick the boss, the team, and the culture where you feel you can do your best work. So often people chase titles or brand names but don’t pay enough attention to their day to day experience. Put yourself in a position where you can thrive – that’s how you can advance while feeling fulfilled.

“When you’re evaluating a role, pick the boss, the team, and the culture where you feel you can do your best work.”



What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?


I’m extremely excited about AI. As an AI company and a Philanthropy team, it’s our responsibility to listen to the communities, the students, the grantees we support across education and climate and help them navigate this next wave of AI.

Over the past year, we conducted a deep dive listening tour to understand where our purpose driven organizations are on their AI journey. We learned that most are optimistic – almost 90% want to use AI – but they are not prepared to handle the massive shift. Without support, they are at risk of getting left behind, furthering inequities across the most vulnerable populations. That’s where our work is focused this year, namely with our AI for Impact Accelerators for education and climate action, and I’m really excited to see what innovative solutions we come up with.

Elaine Forth


CEO, Hyphen8


Birmingham, England

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would that be and why? Please explain with a short story or example.
PASSIONATE – I am incredibly passionate about lots of things but one of them is the importance of ensuring that everyone in our business embodies our VALUES. Leading a values-led company makes me a role model to show how these influence our ethos, how we interact with each other and importantly, how we engage with our customers. We have 8 key values that are revisited regularly including Trust and Integrity, Supporting each other, Nurturing personal development and Don’t forget to fun. Despite the changes a company naturally goes through as it grows, values can remain the consistent thread to maintain a strong culture.

Pledge 1% provides a framework for businesses to do good. Do you think it’s important for today’s corporate leaders to prioritize social impact? If so, why?
Yes this is extremely important. We have a responsibility as business owners to make good decisions and to influence the communities we work within to collectively make a difference. If we are running successful, profitable businesses, we can define how we will contribute to social impact in the context of our sector and the skills we have to offer. It’s also key that we don’t overlook our responsibility to create a fulfilling and rewarding place for our employees.

Do you give back to the community with your team and work? If so, what does this look like? Please feel free to add a specific story or experience.
At Hyphen8, we have a social purpose to give back at least 8% of our profit to help nonprofits achieve their missions. This takes the form of charitable donations, pro bono time assigned to Directors and our staff and the ongoing development of free solution accelerators that can fast-track our technology implementations. We have a community of practice, HyphenEarth, dedicated to helping us make positive changes to the environment.



They are helping us achieve net zero carbon emissions and arrange corporate environmental volunteering days. Personally, I am part of several volunteering networks and recently was proud and profoundly to be in a position to help a family-run charity in Scotland that provides holiday and hospital accommodation for families with a child suffering with cancer. 

What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
“If you want something, make it happen”. I have always believed that you can achieve your goals and ambitions if you believe in yourself and put enough hard work in.

“If you want something, make it happen.”

This year’s International Women’s Day themes are focused on investing in women and inspiring inclusion. What can we do to make today’s workplaces more equitable and inclusive for women?
My company is well-recognized in our sector for being one of very few female-owned and female-led tech consultancies with an equal number of women employees. We are proud of our gender equality initiatives including:



● Asking for (and listening to) feedback from women – we have established a Women in Tech community of practice where we can share experiences, create opportunities and share our best practice with the wider sector
● Ensuring that women are represented at all levels so that other women can be inspired by them – in our case the majority of our Directors, Managers and Senior Solutions Consultants are women
● Actively providing opportunities to break gender stereotypes for certain roles – developers tend to be male in our sector so we have set up a mentoring programe to upskill the women in our team who aspire to become developers
● Providing flexible working hours so women with young children can work around their home commitments

What advice do you have for women who are just starting their career?
Don’t let anything hold you back, believe in yourself and be prepared to sometimes leave your comfort zone. If you are ambitious, put yourself forward, take initiatives and get back up if you are knocked back. As women, it is our tendency to let imposter syndrome creep in and doubt ourselves but we can achieve great things through sheer persistence and resilience. Don’t worry if you haven’t decided where your passions lie yet – it is quite common to change direction several times before you find your groove, I did!

What are you looking forward to this year? Are there any goals (personal or professional), activities, or experiences you are excited about?
I am looking forward to whatever this year brings as life is never boring in a consultancy. One particular goal I am excited about is that we are working towards becoming a B Corp certified company by the end of the year. This will help us to demonstrate our social purpose and is a useful way to revisit the ways we work and how we evaluate our impact.

It is encouraging that as we work through the assessment, we already tick so many of the boxes in some categories. We are planning a 2 day all-company get together in the Summer which will be fantastic. As we all work remotely across the UK, we don’t get a chance to get together very often to just have fun.
