Hepzhi Pemberton has her work cut out: With a clear mission to prove that business (and society) does better when it embraces diversity, she's up against a self-harming system that starts at the top.

For instance, in March 2021 there were more FTSE 100 CEO’s called "Andy" or "Steve" than there were female CEO's and CEO's from ethnic minorities combined.

But it's not just race and gender bias that can get in the way of progress. Socio-economic barriers built up over decades still persist today.  For free guidance and advice, Hephzi recommends connecting with The Social Mobility Network . Meanwhile, The Diversity Playbook can be purchased via our independent book shop partner HERE.
