Ep. 19 - The messiness of diversity with Leonid Sudakov, President of Kinship at Mars

“Diversity is messy: it is not easy or comfortable, because it’s built on difference. It’s built on accepting that your way is not the only way”.

Leonid Sudakov, President of Kinship, a division of Mars, has long been a vocal advocate for the rich talent, creativity and innovative thinking created by diverse workplaces.

So for this month’s podcast we talk to him about the challenge of rethinking your business model, how being a gay senior leader shaped his priorities and what the Soviet Union did for women in STEM.
