Urban Equity Planning with André Darmanin
Or wherever you get your podcasts
I grew up in a multiracial home in the diverse neighborhood of Roger’s Park, Chicago. It wasn’t until I entered corporate America and grad school that I realized that I was different. I realized I was disadvantaged because I was putting a lot of energy trying to be someone I am not. We need to do better for the next generation to enable them to be their authentic and real selves at work.
That’s why I am so eager to chat with my guest today, André Darmanin. André is an inclusive leader, people manager and systems thinker with two decades of diverse international experience in matrixed environments. He is a disruptor and relationship builder focused on equitable and strategic organizational solutions.
He makes a strong argument, “we need systemic, urban solutions to provide more opportunities to our employees and the people we lead.” Change can happen on several levels at an organization and André is thinking big.
The truth is, building a culture around work should not be a thing, we should be building a culture around culture. Meeting our people where they are and giving them the opportunity to shine.
Thanks for bringing your best to the podcast today, André.
Also, get excited for next week as I interview Rosanna Durruthy, Vice President, Global Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging at LinkedIn.
