Leila McKenzie-Delis, the Founder and CEO of DIAL Global, is redefining the norms in the corporate sector by forcing businesses to reconsider how they view having diverse teams in order to succeed. Demanding more equality in the workplace, Leila educates audiences on the wonders a diverse business policy can do. Leila is now available to hire as a speaker at a range of corporate events.
As someone from a different racial background from those who she grew up with in the UK, Leila noticed that racial diversity and equal opportunities were sorely lacking when she started working. Despite those challenges, Leila has made her way to senior positions in organisations and started several businesses herself. As the Founder of Leila McKenzie Associates Limited, she incorporates diversity and inclusion in recruitment. She is also heavily involved in the McKenzie-Delis Foundation which is a charitable organisation that invests in belonging and equality research.
Through her work at DIAL Global, a company she started in 2019, Leila made a name for herself by striking deals with organisations like Co-op, PWC and The FA right off the bat. Education lies at the core of DIAL Global and therefore Leila takes special care that her clients leave feeling inspired to foster an inclusive community. She helps clients understand diversity in modern businesses – LGBT+ rights, racial equality, political beliefs, disability awareness, etc. The newest feather in Leila’s cap is her work on The McKenzie-Delis Packer Review – a unique report that explores diversity in UK workplaces by collaborating with equality organisations like Stonewall and Mind.
She is currently the presenter of the Diverse & Inclusive Leaders podcast, where she interviews thoughts leaders of the current age and is the author of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging. When hired as a speaker, Leila delves into the details of her report findings and then helps organisations with strategies on how to sustain the best practices regarding race, gender, religion, social status, etc. in the long run.
