Dr. Salwa Rahim-Dillard, Founder, Equision Consulting, LLC

Salwa has it going on!  She is a powerful presence who emanates strength, confidence (w/o swagger), intelligence and professionalism.  From the perspective of someone who has been around a while and had the blessing of working with a lot of terrific D&I folks...She's got it! 

Salwa is a vision forward, inclusive leader. In my role as the CEO of the Global Women's Leadership Forum, Salwa and I partnered on several diversity initiatives. I found her to be a highly invested, outcomes driven, leader. She embodies and exudes the characteristics of a transformational leader by combining both the head and the heart. She listens deeply and delivers well. I highly recommend Dr. Salwa Rahim Dillard. 

So blessed to have had the opportunity to work under the leadership of Salwa Rahim-Dillard, Ph.D. to plan and execute this year's Inclusion Summit. Everyday I have the pleasure of learning from and being challenged by her DEI knowledge to stretch my own skills and competencies. During the Summit, she pushed our organization to own our power and emphasized how "allyship in the workplace is advocacy." 

Salwa is one of the most knowledgeable Diversity and Inclusion leaders in the field. I have personally learned so much from her. Salwa's knowledge on organizational dynamics, creating diverse and inclusive environments of belonging, and strategic ways of tying inclusion to the bottom line are highly valued. She has deep expertise and is also a fun and inspiring person to work with. Its been an honor working with her.  

Salwa is a D&I expert who inspires change in people. She has a powerful presence and an expansive wealth of knowledge. Her passion and commitment to equity and excellence is evidenced in her work.  She's a true thought-leader who has been instrumental in building best-in-class D&I strategies. I highly recommend her.
