Wil Lewis brings decades of diversity and
inclusion expertise and leadership
Expanding on Experian North America’s commitment to a culture of
diversity and inclusion, the company announced today Wil Lewis will
join the organization as its first-ever Chief Diversity, Inclusion
and Belonging Officer. In this role, Lewis will build upon Experian
North America’s award winning programs to reflect the employees,
clients and communities it serves, further the company’s commitment
to diverse representation and continuously evolve the workplace
culture where all employees are celebrated for bringing their whole
selves to work. He most recently served as Senior Vice President,
Global Diversity and Inclusion Executive for Bank of America.
“Embracing a truly inclusive culture, where everyone feels a
real sense of belonging, is critical to building a diverse
workforce and fostering innovation,” said Experian North America
CEO Craig Boundy. “Our diversity and inclusion efforts have always
focused on how we can contribute to a more equitable society within
our Experian North America family, the communities we operate in
and among the consumers we serve. We’re committed to being an agent
for change and delighted Wil is coming on board to help lead that
change with us.”
The creation of the new role highlights several critical
components of Experian North America’s commitment to diversity and
inclusion:
- Building a company where inclusion fuels collaboration and
innovation to develop products which enable financial inclusion for
all
- Ensuring that every employee feels emotionally connected to the
company in an environment that is safe and supportive
- Attracting, developing and retaining talent that represents the
communities in which Experian North America operates
- Institutionalize processes that will increase the number of
diverse suppliers, disability accessibility tools and enhance the
impact of external diversity partnerships
At Bank of America, Lewis led 11 employee resource groups with
more than 350 chapters in 40 countries with more than 180,000
memberships. During his tenure, Lewis’ responsibilities also
included talent recruitment and development, human resources and
community impact. He has held positions in sales and operations
before his career path in human resources leadership. Of service to
his community, Lewis serves on the board for the Disability: IN,
Centers for New Horizons and Chicago Minority Supplier Diversity
Council.
”A truly inclusive workplace culture is not a destination, it’s
a journey. I’m looking forward to building on the momentum at
Experian North America that continues to strive for ways to ensure
equitable systems, processes and practices for fellow employees,
consumers and our communities,” said Lewis.
Experian North America prides itself on supporting a positive
work environment for its employees. This led to the launch of
Employee Resource Groups in 2018, which now have more than 900
active participants, and The Power of You, a companywide initiative
that aims to provide transparency into Experian’s commitment to
diversity and inclusion and is outlined in its “Power of You”
annual report, now in its third year. The company received its
recertification as a Great Place to Work for the third year in a
row, and ranks in the top 20 Fortune Best Workplaces in Financial
Services and Insurance and the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work
For 2020. The Human Rights Campaign Foundation granted the company
a perfect score in its Corporate Equality Index.
