Let's Take it Offline Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Diversity and Inclusion gets talked about so often in the corporate world, that it can often feel like a tick box exercise. But is it?

We sat down with Lynn Dang, APAC HR Director for Snap Inc, to unpack the elements of D&I, what it entails and what it means for companies, teams and all of us as professionals.

Lynn also shares her journey as part of a refugee family from Vietnam and her involvement with UNHCR as a board member! We left the conversation both in awe and tremendously inspired!

It's all about knowing your self-worth and asking for what you deserve.
