Content: I had no background in finance, but I just saw it as a problem. Maybe it’s because I was coming from such a different place that I could recognize it,” says Arlan. Oona King
Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Snap
Oona King is Snap’s first Vice President of Diversity and Inclusion and was most recently Google’s Director of Diversity Strategy. She’s also a former member of the British Parliament with the Labour Party, as well as a former Senior Policy Advisor and speechwriter to the Prime Minister. What she teaches us: That one individual has the power to make a huge impact. In 2016, Oona introduced an amendment to Parliament that requires all companies in the United Kingdom with over 250 employees to publish their gender pay gap. As a result, the law that she helped pass has had far-reaching influences across the UK, Silicon Valley, and beyond. Michelle Kim
