Hayley Bakker: Diversity & Inclusion, Building Self Awareness & South Africa Roots - E140

Hayley Bakker is a Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Diversely, an HR SaaS platform that helps businesses attract more diverse applicants and remove bias from their hiring with smart (AI driven) tools, diversity analytics and bite-size unconscious bias training. Prior to that she founded Colibri Growth, a Tech Offshoring company that helps tech startups in Singapore to set up and manage their tech teams and development in Vietnam. Hayley’s passion and drive for diversity in the workplace was sparked from her experience working in traditionally male dominated industries (M&A, banking and tech). She led non-profit Girls in Tech's Singapore chapter for a number of years and recently helped to set up the Vietnam chapter - both working to empower, engage and educate women (with an interest) in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. Hayley graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering and a Masters of Science in Financial Engineering and Management and is Certified in Agile Scrum, Human-Centered Design and Lean Six Sigma.
