FEATURED SESSIONS

Leading Change: Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Track

Tuesday, April 20, 2021 | 2:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET | Virtual Room 5

Creating a sustainable culture of diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) is essential to the future of the global risk and insurance industry. Organizations need to “do right” by all of their people – current and future employees, provide opportunities and environments for employees to be their authentic selves, strive towards representation at every level, ensure efforts can withstand crisis times (i.e., COVID-19), and understand the risks of not taking action (i.e., D&O, reputation, stagnation, employee flight). Join this engaging conversation with DE&I and business leaders, including special keynote speaker Carla Harris, who was the first African American to join Morgan Stanley’s Management Committee, is an outspoken proponent of multicultural entrepreneurship, and was recently named for the second year in row to Barron’s top 100 most influential women in US Finance. During this session you will gain insight into the concrete actions that can make the risk and insurance industry more diverse, equitable, and inclusive and that can be applied in your own organization.

Speakers:

• John Doyle, President and CEO, Marsh
• Tamara Franklin, Chief Digital, Data & Analytics Officer, Marsh
• Carla Harris, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, Morgan Stanley
• Nzinga Shaw, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer, Marsh McLennan
