About us

Christine joined Diversity Mark in its launch year and during the first four years she developed the accreditation and assessment process; and as Head of Business, she built a strong and committed community of employers, and many key stakeholder relationships. In September 2022 Christine moved to a new role within the WiB Group as Head Of Corporate with Women in Business, before returning to Diversity Mark in November 2023 to lead Diversity Mark into the future as Director. Christine feels passionately about the Diversity Mark mission towards inclusive and diverse workplaces where everyone feels welcome – whilst supporting the overall mission of The WiB Group to help grow a prosperous, inclusive economy. Prior to joining Diversity Mark, Christine spent over 20 years in the retail banking and motor trade sectors in a variety of key management roles.

Shruti moved to Northern Ireland with her partner a little over five years ago after a decade of experience in journalism and consulting firms such as KPMG back in Mumbai, India. She worked in the research and communications field for almost four years consulting with a global investment bank before joining Diversity Mark to facilitate and support companies in achieving their EDI goals.

Emma is a dynamic and accomplished professional with extensive experience in engagement, retention sales, and event management across diverse industries. Previously a Private Events Sales specialist in London, Emma graduated from University of Ulster and then travelled in America and Spain before returning back to Belfast as Sales Manager prior to joining Diversity Mark back in 2020.

She thrives in dynamic and collaborative environments, where strong communication skills and adaptability allow her to work effectively with cross-functional teams and now nearly 200 network of organisations that are committed to progress within Diversity and Inclusion.  

With a background as a leader in Tech, Finance and Business Growth Lesley has cemented her belief that EDI benefits both employees and businesses. By building diverse teams we build diverse viewpoints and experience leading to better business outcomes, making companies more attractive to potential employees, higher employee retention and increased profits.

Over Lesley’s 40 year career she has gained experience in Tech, Finance, Manufacturing and the Service Sectors across a range of organisations, most recently 20+ years in Allstate Northern Ireland. Lesley will bring that breadth of knowledge and lived experience to her work for Diversity Mark. 

Todd moved to Northern Ireland with his family five years ago from St. Paul, Minnesota (USA).  He has over two decades in consultative sales and relationship management within the financial services and e-learning, and IT sectors.  He covered large geographic territories in the USA, and most recently sold complex regulatory and strategic reporting to multi-national corporations and head up sales for an online learning platform.  His diverse sales and marketing background is ideal to help Diversity Mark continue to grow in Northern Ireland and abroad.
