Meet our DEI Champions
Our DEI Champions are leading the way toward a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture at SSOE. Comprised of our Director of DEI, ERG leaders, and Executive Sponsors, this team was built to be representative of SSOE’s employee population and to have the level of executive involvement required to underscore our commitment and enable forward progress. Our DEI Champions are primarily focused on:
- Advancing a culture of DEI at SSOE through the lens of industry and global best practices
- Listening to the unique needs of our employees and creating internal avenues of support
- Holding us accountable for our corporate commitment to DEI and measuring our progress
