Ep. 18 - Facebook's Jason Trimiew on How Facebook Is Re-Socializing Supplier Diversity

We have a love/hate relationship with American supplier diversity
programs. They don't work for everyone. But what are they
really designed to do? And for who? Must
businesses go through a "diverse" door to earn big business? Why
was it invented anyway? Do we need have supplier diversity
programs anymore in the age of social networking? Who is WE
anyway? Let's break down the premise that the
only way a "diverse" supplier can do business
with a powerful company like Facebook is by checking a box.
Really? Jason Trimiew, Facebook, Inc.'s Head of
Supplier Diversity, has a blunt and honest conversation with us
about how he is guiding Facebook to make game changing moves on
what a supplier diversity program is designed to accomplish and
how his childhood informed his decision to dedicate his
professional life to diversity and inclusion work.
