We had the opportunity to talk with DK Bartley , the Chief Diversity , Equity & Inclusion Officer at Moody ' s , to learn why it ' s more vital than ever for companies serving the fintech arena to have global diversity , equity , and inclusion ( DE & I ) strategies .

" Being a diverse and inclusive company has always been an integral part of Moody ’ s culture . To match our intentions with measurable action , in 2021 we took the important step of making our DE & I goals public . For example , we have goals related to increasing the representation of women in our global workforce , particularly in leadership . In the US , the experience of Black and Latinx employees is a particular focus . The murder of George Floyd was a turning point , and you began to see deeper conversations in many companies about how to be more socially responsible when it comes to issues
