On a monthly basis Steven meets with the Chief Technology Officer of Verizon to talk about creating organizational DEI goals and to call for support in bringing additional opportunities to underrepresented groups. As a Steering Committee member on the Human Capital Management team, Steven also works to ensure diversity and inclusion is integrated into the lifecycle of the Security team. To this end the team rolled out DE&I training to all 198 employees in the department last year and held ‘Expanding Allyship’ workshops for all 40 people leaders. In addition, Steven’s team created a ‘Brave Spaces’ series as way of holding intentional conversations about ethnic diversity and inclusion within the organization and the larger Information Security field. Following the event feedback was collected and the results were passed on to Senior Leadership as priority issues needing to be addressed.
