I’ve built my career sourcing exceptional diverse talent. In 2011, I launched Audeliss, a global executive search firm, with offices in London and NYC. We are committed to levelling the field for executive and non-executive opportunities for women, ethnic minority and LGBT+ candidates.

Since then, 65% of Audeliss’ senior appointments have been diverse, representing a significant impact in the composition of boards and senior leadership teams in businesses across multiple industries.

I am also the Founder & CEO of INvolve, a global network and consultancy, championing diversity and inclusion in business. We help organisations drive cultural change through the delivery of events, programmes, thought leadership and advisory solutions and have offices in London, Dublin and NYC.

In addition, INvolve publish annual global Role Model Lists, supported by Yahoo Finance, recognising and celebrating business leaders and future leaders who are breaking down barriers at work and inspiring the next generation of diverse talent. When the lists are published, they reach millions of people globally across all platforms.

I am a Stonewall Ambassador and launched ‘The Suki Sandhu LGBTQI Asia Fund’ to support activism in Asia. I have also shared my knowledge with some of the world’s largest companies and in global media, including broadcasts on BBC World Service and ITN. In the 2019 New Year’s Honours I received an OBE from the Queen for Services to Diversity in Business

My advice to anyone studying at Birmingham would be to make sure you are studying something you love and build long lasting relationships with your peers as you never know how you might be able to help each other in the future.
