How to Succeed at an Impossible Job, with Sarah Cordivano, Head of DE&I Strategy and Governance at Zalando
Description
#017 For our first episode of Season 3, “How to Succeed at DE&I”, we are thrilled to welcome Sarah Cordivano, Head of DE&I Strategy and Governance at Zalando, a fashion e-commerce headquartered in Berlin.
Sarah published her first book in August 2022 “DEI: How to Succeed at an Impossible Job”, a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to impactful DE&I work. Whether you are a practiced professional in the space, or new to the field, this book is a must-have resource. Akin to the book itself, this episode feels like a friendly chat with one of Europe’s most competent DE&I experts. Sarah lays out for our listeners the 5 building blocks for setting up your DE&I work for success:
- Finding the right executive sponsor to bring your DEI work forward
- Creating a strategy with the right people in the room
- Getting DEI ranked highly among other business objectives
- Measuring the success of DEI work
- Avoiding burnout and emotional fatigue in DEI work
