The technology company Twilio has made a commitment to furthering board diversity, including having three highly accomplished women on its Board of Directors who bring diverse skill sets and experiences. The company's CEO, Karyn Smith, recently participated in the 2019 DirectWomen Board Institute class, which aims to increase the representation of women lawyers on corporate boards. DirectWomen is a resource that fosters creativity, innovation, and success by providing a platform for accomplished women executives with diverse backgrounds to contribute to companies. The organization's mission is to identify, develop, and support a growing group of senior women executives who can serve as directors of major U.S. corporations. Achieving diversity in corporate executive positions and boards has been shown to be beneficial for business success, with companies that are more ethnically and gender diverse outperforming their competitors. This is because diversity brings different viewpoints, which cultivates higher levels of creativity and innovation. Every company must make a conscious commitment to diversity and inclusion, starting with the recruiting process and extending it into daily experiences.
