D&I trailblazers: Huy Le in conversation with Richard Rowntree and Bharat Sagar

In episode 6 we speak to Huy Le from Dynamo and Richard Rowntree from Paragon, who discuss identity foreclosure and how education and representation can be useful tools in raising awareness of the different opportunities available to ensure everyone within society can reach their full potential. The discussion also touches upon improving equality of progression as currently, within the financial services industry, 89% of the most senior roles are held by those from higher socio-economic backgrounds compared to 52% of UK CEOs economy wide. This illustrates the importance of not just attracting diverse talent from new pools and non-traditional routes, but of developing and encouraging that talent equally.
