Dr Anino Emuwa Keynote Think Women

Keynote Speaker

Mark Freed is co-founder of Men for Inclusion. With a career dedicated to challenging outdated stereotypes and promoting inclusivity, Mark has become a key voice in driving cultural change within the financial services sector and beyond.

Mark Freed’s keynote “How to Achieve True Equality in the Workplace” will emphasise that genuine inclusion enables a deeper understanding of individual strengths and contributions, building an environment where all employees, regardless of background, can thrive in alignment with shared values and behaviours.

Mark will present the business case for diversity, showing how companies with over 30% female representation excel, yet often miss the full benefits by neglecting true inclusion and culture change. He will emphasise the critical role of men as advocates, push for modernised policies and inclusive leadership, and propose actionable steps—like engaging men, tracking data, and challenging stereotypes—to embed lasting, meaningful DEI in daily practice.
