At Plaid, they recognize the importance of championing diversity across all levels of leadership to unlock financial freedom for everyone. They have made significant progress in increasing diversity among their leadership team, with notable increases in female, Black, multiracial, and Asian representation. To support this growth, they have established Employee Resource Groups (PCGs), which provide bespoke programming and build awareness across the organization. The company has also launched a comprehensive playbook to help PCG leaders scale and provide development opportunities specific to these groups. Plaid aims to empower every employee to drive and support DEIB efforts, recognizing that it is everyone's responsibility to contribute to this shared practice. By understanding their past and present through data analysis, they are designing for the future and investing in manager development, career growth, and diversity initiatives. Ultimately, their vision is to have DEIB fully embedded into every aspect of who they are, how they work, and what they build.
