Changing the workforce with diversity in tech

“This is who we are and this is what we stand for, and [that's] changing the workforce,” said Aaron L., Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion during a recent panel. This month, we were guided by our goal to be among the most diverse companies in tech by 2025. On the agenda: helping to sponsor the Morehouse Tuskegee Classic (listen to Morehouse alum and Shipt CEO Kamau discuss why here) and representing Shipt at THRIVE 2022, presented by BLK Men in Tech . We’re grateful to support diverse voices in tech.
