Build a more diverse firm

At Cambridge Associates, we are working to build a more diverse workforce. Not only because the best talent is found in the broadest pool of candidates, or because of conclusive evidence that diverse teams lead to better outcomes—but also because it is simply the right thing to do.

Our Global Diversity Council

Our Global Diversity Council reflects a balanced representation of colleagues around the globe. The Council ensures that our overall DEI strategy is aligned with our business, creates our DEI goals and metrics, monitors strategy execution and outcomes, and reports our overall DEI progress to the firm.

At CA, we have both a genuine commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and also a deep understanding of the magnitude of the challenge. Working in DEI for more than a decade, I know that progress in this area requires a dedication to excellence, a willingness to learn, and people who are at the table and ready to go.
