Neha Lagoo Ratnakar (l)

She is the author of a career restart book Back on Your Feet (Goodreads 4.5, Amazon 4.7), a keynote speaker, an International L&D advisor and the former Head of Education for LEAD Network Europe. 

 

Her talks are shaped by the insights she gathered through her global career and experiences of being a diverse candidate in most places. Her take on DE&I is refreshing and optimistic. What she has to say may offend you, could provoke you, but will definitely make you think.

So don't miss her talk: DEI-Caffeinated - Brewing Stories of Borders, Belonging and Breaking Barriers!
