In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Ivori Johnson, the Head of People & Inclusion at ChartHop. Join us as we delve into Ivori's unique journey from studying medicine to becoming a trailblazer in Human Resources and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Discover how Ivori's life took an unexpected turn when someone entered her world and redirected her path from medicine to HR and DEI.

In this candid conversation, we explore the challenges Ivori encountered, the resilience that propelled her forward, and the significant milestones in her career. Uncover the parallels between Ivori's journey and unexpected connections with pop culture as we delve into what she and John Wick surprisingly have in common.
Join us as we tackle the important topic of breaking down barriers in the workplace, fostering inclusivity, and creating a positive impact in the world of HR and DEI.
