Karen Catlin is a highly acclaimed author and speaker on inclusive workplaces. She has published four books: Better Allies: Everyday Actions to Create Inclusive, Engaging Workplaces, Belonging in Healthcare, The Better Allies Approach to Hiring, and The Better Allies Way. She also emails a roundup of “5 Ally Actions” to over 40,000 newsletter subscribers every week.
Previously, Catlin spent 25 years building software products and serving as a vice president of engineering at Adobe.

Frustrated but galvanized, she knew it was time to switch gears and focus on creating more inclusive workplaces.
