As an organizational psychologist and management consultant, Maya deeply values the importance of inclusion and diversity in driving business outcomes. Apart from her work in advising clients on I&D, Maya is the EMEA Regional Lead for Oliver Wyman’s Racial and Ethnic Diversity employee network, working with over 10 chapters in the region on the implementation of the global I&D strategy. Through this role, Maya has implemented initiatives including reverse mentoring, targeted recruitment campaigns, external industry engagements and internal debates and discussions. Besides the network’s grassroots initiatives, she also works with senior leadership to implement tangible change. More recently, Maya has developed a Racial and Ethnic Diversity Strategy for Oliver Wyman in collaboration with one of the company’s Managing Partners. Outside of Oliver Wyman, Maya regularly engages with organisations in the industry to discuss racial and ethnic diversity topics and share her journey. She recently led an event with State Street on the lack of racial and ethnic diversity in senior leadership positions, together with her colleagues, and a masterclass on the topic of Talking about Race at Barclays Bank. Maya is also part of a cross-company mentorship program, Mission Include, that is aimed at tackling all aspects of diversity and spans multiple industries. Through all of these activities, Maya continuously strives to create a more inclusive and diverse environment both within and outside the organisations she works in.
