How to Build Purposeful Inclusion in Your Organization with Mariana Fagnilli
Apr 24, 2025
Listen on:
How can organizations create purposeful inclusion?
That’s a question I explore with Mariana Fagnilli, a globally recognized executive with over 20 years of senior leadership experience spanning legal practice, international government affairs, policy development, and organizational culture transformation. Mariana shares her insights into how intentional inclusion can supercharge performance at every level of an organization.
We discuss her new book, Inclusion-Driven Performance, where Mariana introduces powerful frameworks that help companies move beyond surface-level diversity.
She challenges the traditional role of ERGs, urging organizations to reimagine them as innovation accelerators, not just event planners. With practical advice on how to measure inclusion's real impact—from patent applications to financial outcomes—Mariana’s message is clear: DEI must evolve.
She encourages leaders that now is the time to be brave and creative, to lean into discomfort, and to pivot with purpose. If you're a leader wondering how to create meaningful inclusion, Mariana’s time-tested framework is exactly what you need.
