This week's podcast features our recent discussion about race and the evolving role of investors addressing racial inequality. We're resurfacing this conversation because even as Black History Month comes to an end, the hard work to increase diversity in the markets continues.
We brought together four professionals to share their expertise on the topic: Lisa Lambert, head of National Grid Partners and former head of the Intel Diversity Fund; Barry Eggers, a founding partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and current chairman of the National Venture Capital Association; Angela Matheny, director of the diverse asset-manager program at Crewcial Partners; and Cynthia Muller, head of mission-driven investment with the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.Our guests discussed why it's so important from business and equality perspectives for investors to prioritize diversity and inclusion goals in both their own teams and in their portfolios.
