How SVPs Karen & Janet Tackled the Gender Race Pay Gap, Code Switching & D&I

Visionaries

EP. 6 - This week's episode celebrates the power of diversity with two incredible leaders. Karen Greenfield serves as the Senior Vice President of Business & Production Operations for National Geographic, is the executive sponsor of one of Walt Disney’s Business Employee Resource Groups NOIR DC, and is the Chairperson of National Geographic Partner’s Diversity and Inclusion Council. She also happens to be my career mentor!

Karen is joined by Janet Vissering who is the Senior Vice President of Program Development and Production of National Geographic WILD. Both Karen and Janet went to school at the University of Maryland but had very different lived experiences. In this episode, they discuss the complications of being diversity & inclusion leaders representing billion dollar companies, the power of uplifting others as you rise, and tips to tackling the gender race pay gap (+plus lots more).
