Unique perspectives are the key for organizations to innovate. In today’s episode, we discuss the evolution of diversity in the boardroom and the impact that will result, as we welcome Charlie Beasley to the show.

Charlie is a London-based consultant at the global executive search and leadership advisory firm Egon Zehnder where he is a part of the Global Board practice in addition to his work advising clients across the consumer sector and with professionals focused on corporate reputation – from communications to legal, risk and regulatory. Having grown up in Australia, Charlie joined Egon Zehnder following a career as an antitrust lawyer, working in corporate affairs in the retail sector and after 5 years as the Chief of Staff at the global law firm Linklaters. Charlie is a founding member of Egon Zehnder’s LGBTQ+ and allies community ez+ and is playing a key role in driving Egon Zehnder’s efforts to increase both visible and non-visible diversity on Boards and in senior leadership positions around the world. At the heart of this is helping senior leaders “bring to life” the significant leadership strengths they bring to organizations that are linked to their diverse identity and experience.

In today’s episode, Charlie shares his experience finding the perfect board members while at Egon Zehnder. He also weighs in on how diversity and inclusion are evolving in the boardroom and the key ways that organizations are benefitting from it. You won’t want to miss this episode of Boardroom Bound.
