Barbara Blevens
VP, Talent Acquisition

I joined the Inclusion Council because I feel that having an inclusive workforce is critical to the success of our organization. As the Head of Talent Acquisition, I always want to make sure we are doing a broad outreach to attract talent to our organization. I look to members of the Inclusion Council to further my awareness and knowledge to continue to bring the best talent to LexisNexis Risk Solutions.

Adam Mariano
President and General Manager, Healthcare

I joined the Inclusion Council because of my deep belief in the need for a fair workforce and the undeniable value of representation. Throughout my career (both as a civil rights attorney and a technology executive), I have witnessed the incredible impact of allyship, inclusivity, and engagement, allowing everyone to experience a true sense of belonging.

I am committed to helping our organization drive towards a future where no one feels they are alone in their journey, and all can ultimately see themselves represented in the Risk Solutions family we continue to build. I am so thankful for this opportunity to support the Council in these efforts!

Beth Kilian
SVP Sales, Business Services

I am grateful to be a part of an organization that realizes the importance of People, Culture & Belonging and how it directly correlates to success. I am passionate about taking a stance and leading change within my own business unit through my work with our Women Connected Virtual chapter, Young Professionals, and our Women Connected Mentorship program. The Inclusion Council expands upon this reach, and the actions we take together will positively impact our ability to innovate and thrive for years to come.

Jo Fisher
HR Director

I am honored to be asked to be part of the Inclusion Council. I am passionate about inclusion, which has manifested in helping to write the UK Tech Talent Charter, as well as setting up the Alpharetta chapter of the Young Professionals ERG during my time living in Atlanta, Georgia, US.

As a Senior/Strategic HR Business Partner supporting Technology globally, and as a millennial female, I have a deep and personal commitment to ensuring that our organization embraces a variety of perspectives and, most importantly, fosters an inclusive and rewarding work environment. I’m excited to be part of the Council and to work with like-minded business leaders on initiatives to make that happen.

-Jo Fisher

Charlene Oke
Director, People, Culture & Belonging

Embracing and understanding different cultures within the work environment is imperative for everyone to feel comfortable in bringing their “whole” self to work. For too long we can fall into the trap of only wanting to know what we already know. I am truly honored to have an opportunity to work with like-minded senior leaders to embrace change, challenge the status quo, and feel comfortable practicing active allyship across our business.

People, Culture & Belonging aren’t just a focus for today or tomorrow. It is a way of life. It’s about harnessing what makes us different and finding ways we can take action to support all voices and foster real engagement. I am excited to be a part of the Inclusion Council, and I am sure this will help to continue our journey as an organization and embed a culture of belonging we are all proud of.

-Charlene Oke

Jo Portlock
VP, People, Culture & Belonging

As our Belonging Strategy matures, we must come together as a leadership team to track our progress, identify gaps we need to close, and act. We are an organization representing different regions, businesses, and industries, so it’s great to create an inclusion council to represent our different perspectives and drive cultural change to increase inclusion.

-Jo Portlock

Vijay Raghavan
CTO and EVP, Technology

To some extent, I see myself as being a beneficiary of good inclusion practices. Participating in the Inclusion Council is my way of trying to pay it forward and help implement good belonging practices by design, rather than by happenstance. And, to help position creating a sense of belonging not as a zero-sum game, but as an initiative that lifts everyone, and makes the company more successful.

-Vijay Raghavan

Bill Min
EVP and General Counsel

It is refreshing to be part of an organization that recognizes the value of an inclusive environment. For me, the Inclusion Council demonstrates our commitment to identifying and reinforcing best practices and provides us with an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the differences and life experiences of our talent. I am excited to help make this a great place to work.
