122. Advancing Gender Equality & Supplier Diversity through Company Spending Behaviors (feat. David Latten)

David is the Head of Procurement at Logitech, one of the world's leading manufacturers of computer peripherals and software. They have 8,200+ employees, $4B+ in assets, and did $5.32B+ in revenue over the past year.  David's main priority as a procurement leader is to ensure Logitech and the wider corporate sector can deliver real progress towards equality via their supplier spend. A core value for Logitech and a personal passion for him.     Currently, only 6.1% of the trillions of dollars spent annually by US corporations go to black, women, and under-represented suppliers, despite our best efforts to increase supplier diversity.  Logitech has partnered with Gender Fair to launch The Coalition For Gender Fair Procurement, with the simple aim of leveraging the multi-trillion dollar spending power of corporate procurement as a lever to provoke urgently needed progress towards gender equality.  David has worked at Logitech for over 10 years and has previously held management roles in finance at the company.     Connect with David here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-latten/ To learn more about Gender Fair procurement, click here: https://genderfairprocurement.com/index.html This episode is sponsored by: CultureBot: https://getculturebot.com/humanhr Connect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraci Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe!   Disclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.
