A message from our Co-founders

Diversity is a topic very close to our hearts. Not only the data, but our own personal experiences has shown us how much better teams and companies are if there are diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences at every level of our business. We have better conversations and drive stronger outcomes - that’s good for our customers, good for us as a company and good for us as a society.

One of our core values is “Always raise the bar.” We share our diversity data and goals not only in the spirit of transparency, but in an effort to ensure we as a company and as an industry do our part to raise the bar.

We believe every relationship matters whether it’s among our teams, customers, or partners. Our vision is for everyone to contribute in a meaningful way and embrace what it means to be a part of a truly diverse community that prioritizes equality.
