Ingrid Watkins, CEO of IW Consulting Group, is a well-respected thought leader in diversity and inclusion strategies. “When we develop DEI strategy for clients to ensure diverse employees are treated fairly and equitably, or when we develop an inclusive procurement strategy so that diverse businesses have access to corporate contracting, we are impacting the economic development of our communities. Knowing this makes all the long hours and hard work worth it for me and my team”, Ingrid said.
