Our Commitment to DE&I

"I have never believed that great talent fits neatly into narrow boxes."

"For over 30 years, I have championed people who were underestimated by others in my industry because of their nationality, accent, background, or because they didn’t conform to traditional hiring expectations. That belief comes from a deep intolerance of exclusion and and a conviction that people perform best when they're allowed and truly feel comfortable being themselves."

"This perspective defines how we work."

"I have consistently gone against the tide, backing ability over assumption and potential over prejudice. Time and again, those decisions proved commercially right, delivering high-performing hires and stronger, more resilient teams for clients.

When Beatport asked me to champion their DE&I mandate within talent acquisition, the focus was on how people were attracted, assessed, and hired, not box-ticking or optics. By embedding inclusive, skills-led hiring practices and openly celebrating increasing diversity within candidate pipelines, the approach delivered measurable results and external recognition, including two industry awards.

Today, I work with CEOs, Founders and People & Culture leaders to ensure hiring is fair, skills-led, and free from bias, from how roles are advertised, to how interviews are run, to how final decisions are made."

"At Extrevo, DE&I is not a policy or a slogan.
It is a leadership stance and a fundamental driver of performance."
