About this episode

When you run a global business that’s active in many different countries and markets, a big challenge is how to create a really strong organisation culture which holds people together through a shared sense of purpose and a common set of values. How do you figure out what should be consistent globally vs what people are free to decide locally? How do you get agreement to this across the board and bring people with you? How do you make the new culture feel inclusive and fair for everyone?

Joining me to discuss all of this is Kisha Payton, Chief DEI Officer and Global Head of Culture at Escalent, a leading data analytics and advisory firm that works with some of the world’s biggest brands. Kisha has a business background with extensive experience in market research, strategic marketing and storytelling to help clients connect better with their customers, understand and fulfil their needs. She also has a law degree and worked with non-profit organisations too. I find out how she brings this expertise into her DEI/Culture leadership role to create positive culture change at scale.
