Danielle is a tech and social entrepreneur and a champion of inclusion and diversity in the workplace and beyond. Danielle advocates and supports the recruitment and retention and engagement of a diverse body of talent, mentors colleagues globally and organises company-wide initiatives to drive inclusion. As the founder of WCF she puts the values of DEI at the forefront of any activity and as a constructive value from day1. Outside of WCF, Danielle founded Parliament51, a non-profit organization which inspired the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) to publish a statement pushing for gender equality and the alleviation of discrimination in the workplace. Following further guidance from Parliament51 the MFA later published an implementation guide. Danielle is working to ensure that the partner companies of P51 are a model employer for women through the hiring, retention and promotion process, as well as the provision of support on best practices designed to create an inclusive workplace. Danielle hopes that this will pave the way for more companies and other governmental and international organizations to follow their lead and adopt the same approach towards creating an equal and safe working environment for women.
