Foundation of the Partnership:

The partnership began when 20 AlixPartners colleagues supported our Black History Month event at Dentons in October 2019, where Elton Ndoma-Ogar, Head of Diversity & Inclusion at AlixPartners, spoke on the panel. This collaboration continued with AlixPartners staff speaking at our Activate Change and Making It conferences during COVID-19 in 2020, inspiring and engaging young people concerned about their job prospects. These events featured other employers and the then Small Business Secretary, Nadhim Zahawi. The relationship was formalised in 2021/2022, solidifying our joint commitment to equity and inclusion.
