• Bringing diversity into your organization will give your company strength and power that it would not otherwise have. 

"I've always loved working in roles that are global. What I love about it is the diversity - you can be on a phone call with Mexico in the afternoon, then you can be on a phone call with Sweden or China, and those conversations and dynamics are going to be very different. You travel during the day without leaving your office." —  Anthony Allard

"When you bring people in from the four corners of the world they can do amazing things in places you wouldn’t expect." —  Anthony Allard

"Be an authentic leader. Find your own way to bring your organization and your team where you believe it needs to go for the next 5 to 10 years." —  Anthony Allard
