In this episode, Kay Fabella welcomes Nancy Kasvosve, founder of Philips Women Lead (PWL) and passionate advocate for equity and inclusion, to discuss her lessons from driving and growing the organization’s largest employee resource group to influence Philips’ global DEI strategy.

Nancy highlights the importance of employee-led “bottom-up” movements, detailing how she created and scaled PWL at Philips with the support of colleagues, mentors and sponsors — alongside her day job and entrepreneurial ventures. She also outlines how ERGs can continue to scale to support global teams and drive business strategy.

Finally, Nancy and Kay discuss how women’s ERGs can ensure DEI strategies meet the needs of women across all identities and intersections — and drive gender equity in the workplace.
