Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Gina Abercombrie-Winstanley: Diversity and the Need for a Cultural Shift in the U.S. Department of State

Join us as we speak with Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley, a retired ambassador and newly appointed Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer in the U.S. State Department. Chief Officer Abercrombie-Winstanley has had an expansive career in the foreign service, spanning from her assignments in the Middle East monitoring democratic elections, to her service as the longest-serving U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Malta. In this episode, we talk about her career journey through the U.S. Department of State, Congress, and the Department of Justice. We also discuss what it means to be the token diversity pick in a field that leaves little room for minorities, and what true inclusion means in the government space.
