Her interest for equality, diversity and inclusion started as a 15 years old, volunteering in NGO's,
when she saw young talents (often women and from minority groups) quitting before reachingtheir highest potential due to micro aggressions, lack of leadership support and lack of inclusive
procedures. She then understood the importance of belonging and recognition as it affected the engagement levels by the volunteers.
She started her own business in year 2013, at age 22, and have since then been working as an
consultant, helping business leaders, managers and HR successfully implement strategies for diversity and inclusion at their workplaces.Matilda doesn’t believe in blaming and pointing fingers, but in making people understand the
underlying problem with biases, create a common goal and focus on finding the solutions ahead.Her approach is about making it easy for people to do the right thing.
