Dr. Heather Melville OBE is a British banker, financial-services leader and civic figure with a four-decade career across finance, technology and professional services.
“I want people to stop talking about diversity because when they just put it into a little box and no one thinks they need to do anything. I want people to really talk about a sense of belonging. What does it feel like to work in this organization?”
“Great leaders think about: access to all of the talent, reputation, and commercial sense. Those three things are all wrapped in that word inclusion. They're not about diversity — they're about good business practice.”
“In 10 or 20 years' time, if the young people I mentor tell me they've had a great career, been treated fairly, and been able to bring somebody else up with them — that's what legacy looks like.”
