As Vice President and General Manager for Avanade Americas, which includes the U.S. and Canada, I believe our goal is to make Avanade a magnet for the best talent.

The mission of the Avanade Americas Diversity and Inclusion committee is to:

• Raise awareness, provide education, and foster a culture of inclusion and accountability to achieve the highest level of excellence in our shared value.
• Act with Dignity and Respect.
• Provide thought leadership and representation of our peers and create initiatives and communications to be delivered within Avanade.
