Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Across our 13 offices, we are committed to a culture of belonging that allows everyone to thrive, bring their authentic selves to work, and contribute their unique perspectives to the work we do. We support our diverse teams through equitable practices and the value of inclusive leadership as a fundamental pillar of our culture. We acknowledge and support the needs and goals of our diverse staff through a variety of initiatives hosted over the course of the year and led by our Diversity, Inclusion, Visibility, and Equity umbrella organization, known as DIVE.
"One of the most important traits of a true leader is the ability to empower and develop people to operate at their full potential. Our commitment to DE&I is a commitment to our people to enable them to create meaningful impact for our clients and our firm."
Diane Leung, Partner, Altman Solon
"With a diverse mix of voices and perspectives, we can have more fruitful conversations and drive better outcomes for ourselves, the company, and our clients. As a leader at Altman Solon, I feel empowered to be a part of the conversation and pave a path for future leaders to do the same."
Soumen Ganguly, Partner, Altman Solon
"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace is more than training programs. As leaders, we can help bring diverse voices and stories to the conversation, create safe, open forums for discussion, and cultivate a culture of curiosity and acceptance across all levels and geographies."
Derek Powell, Director, Altman Solon
"From a work, cultural, and personal perspective, diversity has been fundamental to bringing different ideas to the table when solving problems. Diverse voices need to be heard, and as leaders, we must do everything we can to not only foster a more diverse environment, but an inclusive one. As a member of a diverse group myself, I can relate to the challenging road ahead in order to achieve this, but embracing DE&I is our first step on the journey."
Mario Quijada, Partner, Altman Solon
