“I am deeply committed to fostering an inclusive culture that values meritocracy and embraces differences where every individual can thrive as their authentic self.
Diverse teams are more productive, creative, innovative, and make smarter decisions, leading to better overall business results.
This shapes everything we do, both internally with our talent, and externally with our customers, partners and communities to succeed in the #NextPrudential.”
