Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Consultant and Coach

Ben de Pfeiffer-Key

I am an HR Leader with 20 years of experience across Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging (DEIB), Talent Acquisition and Cultural Transformation.

As a collaborative business partner I build inclusive cultures and drive business outcomes aligning to an organisation's strategic goals.

A strategic thinker, I have managed multinational teams and budgets and established relationships across the C-Suite with a proven track record of success in supporting and coaching executive leaders to think inclusively in the attraction, retention, and development of talent.

I am committed to creating inclusive workplaces and experiences where everyone feels valued and respected and believe that by working together, we can create more productive, accessible and equitable organisations.

Along the way I've embraced self-discovery of my identity, accepting challenges and turning them into opportunities. I've learned to leverage my strengths and dedicate myself to helping others on their own path.

My mission is to empower individuals and businesses to thrive by guiding them to embrace the transformative power of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and create cultures of belonging.

I do this by creating safe spaces for reflection, commitment and action, partnering with organisations to create environments where all employees are welcome and can contributing their unique perspectives and expertise.

My work is underpinned by the belief that Inclusive Leadership holds the key to unlocking the power of an organisation, through its people.

Consulting on strategic guidance, innovative solutions and personalised Coaching I cultivate employee experiences that attract and retain diverse talent whilst simultaneously empowering underrepresented talent to breakthrough systemic barriers.

I envision a world where diversity is celebrated, inclusion is the norm, and everyone can belong.
