On the latest episode of The Business of Marketing Podcast, Adweek chief innovation officer Toby Daniels sits down with Wilson to discuss her HR career journey, what inspired the launch of Discover’s Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, the company’s top DEI priorities for the year and how she plans on strengthening and evolving the company culture. She also shared how other executives are looking to push the boundaries with their DEI initiatives to create meaningful change within their companies.
