How to Prioritise Inclusion with Equal Measures’ Vicky Ilankovan

Lush Life

This week we are exploring a very important issue and even if you aren’t in the drinks industry, it’s something you need to address if you have a business. How are you prioritizing inclusion in your workplace?

Vicky Ilankovan, the Executive Director of Equal Measures UK, is with me today to help you answer that question. Equal Measures is the award-winning non-profit spearheading the delivery of intersectional inclusivity in the drinks & hospitality industries

She has a proven track record of promoting companies, developing and restructuring systems, diversifying services, and building communities of engaged stakeholders. As her career spans everything from editorial, marketing, PR, and events, to global distribution, business development, project management, drinks consultancy, and spirits awards judging, she has a panoramic understanding of the hospitality and drinks industries, its networks, and operation.

I am honored to have her on the show.
