Meet the team: Alwyn Dias
Alwyn’s international background has provided clients the benefit of exploring the diversity that is inherent in any work environment. Born in Liberia and having lived in England, Saudi Arabia, and Spain, there is a unique global perspective that is intertwined in his work. 

Having held leadership roles at several Fortune 500 companies, Alwyn works with clients to enhance diversity and inclusion, employee satisfaction, succession planning, talent management and career development.
Says co-worker Isabelle Brennan of Alwyn: "Alwyn delights our clients with his thoughtful and pragmatic solutions on everything from DEI strategy design and training to HR investigations and team building workshops.  We appreciate him on our team and his sharing pictures of his adorable children!"
