When Carla Grant Pickens joined IBM over two decades ago, she was a new mum in search of a job in her late 20s. She knew the US multinational technology company had long been at the forefront of promoting diversity and inclusion, which it still values to this day.
"I had a one-year-old son back then and really wanted to go work for a company that values women, mums and diversity, as well as being supportive. A big global company like IBM has a great reputation in those areas," said Mrs Grant Pickens, now IBM's global chief diversity and inclusion officer.
