DEI Efforts That Really Work (not just look good)
In this episode of the HR Leaders podcast, I'm joined by my guest Richard Taylor, SVP of People Experience & Diversity at Nasdaq.
His expertise is in building and measurably transforming culture, including talent attraction, employee experience, company values, leadership, career development, and recognition programs; and ensuring diversity is at the heart of all of this.
Prior to Nasdaq, Rich held HR leadership roles at Palo Alto Networks, LinkedIn, Applied Materials, Reuters, and several tech startups. Rich has worked in the U.S., Europe and Asia and has competency in several languages.
Rich received his bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Religion from Bates College and his master’s in Divinity from Harvard University. He nearly finished his Ph.D. in Buddhism and Indian studies at UC Berkeley but switched careers and joined a tech startup.
