14 Mar 2023122. Advancing Gender Equality & Supplier Diversity through Company Spending Behaviors (feat. David Latten)00:57:30

David is the Head of Procurement at Logitech, one of the world's leading manufacturers of computer peripherals and software. They have 8,200+ employees, $4B+ in assets, and did $5.32B+ in revenue over the past year.  David's main priority as a procurement leader is to ensure Logitech and the wider corporate sector can deliver real progress towards equality via their supplier spend. A core value for Logitech and a personal passion for him.  

 

Currently, only 6.1% of the trillions of dollars spent annually by US corporations go to black, women, and under-represented suppliers, despite our best efforts to increase supplier diversity.  Logitech has partnered with Gender Fair to launch The Coalition For Gender Fair Procurement, with the simple aim of leveraging the multi-trillion dollar spending power of corporate procurement as a lever to provoke urgently needed progress towards gender equality.  David has worked at Logitech for over 10 years and has previously held management roles in finance at the company.

Carrington Smith Trabue, known as "Carrie" to her friends and colleagues, is the founder and President of Carrington Legal Search and best-selling author of "Blooming." A lawyer by training, Carrington left her litigation practice in 2000 to pursue her passion for connecting people.

Over the last twenty years, Carrington has become the trusted search partner to a host of Fortune 500 companies, venture-backed start-ups, and AMLAW 100 law firms. Her executive search experience focuses primarily on legal and compliance searches in the financial services and technology verticals, but at the request of her clients, has expanded to include searches for other executive roles. Her law firm partner search experience includes office openings, expansions, groups, and individual partner moves.

Carrington has interviewed thousands of executives routinely asking them: "We all have moments in life that define us. Please tell me about a moment that shaped you and how it did." During the pandemic, Carrington authored "Blooming" as her answer to this question and her effort to help anyone who is struggling in life or career.

27 Feb 2024167. Supporting Employees with Chronic Illness: A Conversation with Julie Hamilton00:29:25

Julie Hamilton has over 20 years of Human Resource Management experience and has been a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach for over 7 years. She was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 2009.


As a Human Resources Director, she knew the resources to use such as Family Medical Leave Act and workplace accommodations to help her with the tasks she was struggling with. She didn’t need to worry about her job when she needed to take time off for flare days or medical appointments. She went from missing two to four days per month to missing two days or less a year.


Then after relocating to Ohio, her chronic illness made it impossible for her to work. That is when she studied to become a Certified Fibromyalgia Coach and learned to manage her fibromyalgia. She has gone from being in bed 90% of her life to walking three miles a day and even participated in her first 10k. She now helps professionals who have fibromyalgia maintain their career and regain their active social life.


Her goal is to help companies create an inclusive environment for the chronically ill and assisting them in implementing policies to benefit both the employee and the company. She understands what it takes to make it work and can educate the company and the employee on how this collaboration can work.

02 Jan 2024159. Breaking Barriers: Creating Opportunities for Women in Leadership (feat. Michelle Harris)00:31:27

Michelle Harris is the host of the podcast Her Hype Squad with Bosstrack. She founded Bosstrack in 2021 to provide women new to leadership roles with the development, support and mentorship she found lacking for new leaders. Often little thought is given to the new tools and perspectives needed to lead and, as a result, new leaders are expected to just “figure things out”.


Bosstrack was developed to fill this gap. Michelle has over 25 years of leadership experience with more than half of that time spent at an executive level. Her focus has always been on people, shaping her teams to produce results and grow in their roles.


She has led her teams through financial reorganizations, acquisitions and multi-billion dollar private equity sales. She is excited to bring this opportunity to new women leaders!
When not working to empower women leaders, you can find Michelle in the water, in a photography studio or at a new restaurant. She enjoys photography, scuba diving, free diving, enjoying food and wine and exploring new places. She is a mom to two and wife of a former Marine.
