After a small hiatus MRS Pride Outsights is back!

On this episode we speak to two amazing guests all about Pride, what is means to them and how important it is to support EDI initiatives in a world where some are stepping back.

The conversation covers lots of new updates from around the globe as well as MRS Pride updates such as our confirmation of marching Pride London again this year! We talk about putting your money where your mouth is, and what it means to individuals to march at Pride.

Our Hosts:

Sabrina Trinquetel- CoChair of MRS Pride and Account Manager at YouGov

Daniel Cunill - MRS Pride member and Director of Research and Global Head of Mobile at Bilendi.

Our Guests:
