There have been many discussions lately around the D&I Business Case. Should it be centered on profits, people, social justice, or something else? Why isn’t “it’s the right thing to do” enough? What if it isn’t just one thing, but a mix of all of these?
In this session, we will revisit this question in light of shifts in the workplace, workforce, and business norms resulting from COVID-19, social justice efforts, and economic trends. This session aims to understand the different facets of the D&I business case and explore strategies businesses can use to realign D&I strategy to overarching organizational goals and priorities. We hope you join the conversation!

Jina is a consultant and speaker on diversity, inclusion, culture, and belonging. She creates training programs and workshops to help clients move forward in their D&I journey. She is a storyteller and speaks candidly about her experiences, hard lessons, and ‘aha’ moments that helped her understand the importance of individuality, the value of curiosity, and the courage it takes to “just” be yourself. Often described as “approachable” and “relatable” by her clients, she works with purpose and the intention of being engaging, practical, and immediately applicable to real-world situations. Jina draws from her unique background and mix of work experiences to offer examples and share insights designed to benefit everyone across the workplace ecosystem – executives, management, employees, and customers.
Previously, she was Principal Consultant at EtiennePartners (EP), a boutique consulting firm that offered a unique strategy development, workshops & coaching to leaders, executives and entrepreneurs. Co-founded with her husband, EP was a full-time partnership in both work and life. Although in different professions, their work often intersected around the importance of self-awareness in leadership and navigating conflict within teams. Combining their experiences, backgrounds, and work led to the development of their unique approach to D&I, which she continues to use in her practice today.
