Founder & CEO Rehumanize Institute & former CEO SingularityU Nordic. Speaker, facilitator, author & investor

We recently completed a 1-year journey for Swedbank on the topics of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Over the course of 1 year the 15 top executives from the bank joined 15 speaking partners, carefully selected from a huge number of applicants, to learn and discuss topics such as human and machine bias, gender, culture, and allyship. There is nothing easy about making your organization diverse, equitable, and inclusive. It is also a journey that will probably never end. So thank you GEC members for rolemodeling the importance of these topics by investing your time to be allies, and thank you to the courageous Speaking Partners for daring to speak openly about your own lived experiences, and thank you everyone involved for your trust in us at Rehumanize Institute to design and facilitate this important program! Big shout out to Artin Shams and Christel Bergman for leading the process from inside of Swedbank so dedicatedly; the domain experts who contributed and inspired the participants: Anita Schjøll Abildgaard and Isabelle Ringnes on machine and human bias; Thandi Dyani on culture; Corin Ism on gender; and Dr. Poornima Luthra (She/ Her) on active allyship - and obviously my stellar team for flawless execution. I hope this program and courage from all the participants and the organization will inspire others to embark on similar journeys. The impact is extraordinary. #ResponsibleBusiness #ImpactLeadership #FutureFocus #EcosystemAction
