If we say that “We Drive Change”, that change had to happen first within our industry, and within our team, for impactful, authentic results. Since 2013 we’ve been at the forefront of our industry’s gender revolution, having consistently harnessed the talent of our all-female leadership team since day 1, employing team members from all faiths, backgrounds, sexual orientations and ages. “Change” isn’t just a part of the work we do. Is a way of looking out the window and dream a new world, in which discrimination in the workplace is definitely – and permanently – a thing of the past. If you’re thinking of joining our team, one thing is for granted: no matter who you are or where you come from, you’re already welcome!
