Bie Aweh’s professional and personal passion is to enhance lives, solve problems, and drive growth by bringing people of diverse identities together. Within the innovation economy (technology) her focus is on recruitment, retention, learning, and development. She helps audiences think beyond obligatory “diversity trainings” and “unconscious bias trainings”, empowering participants to see the dialogue as opportunities for self and professional development.

He believes people are the sum of their experiences and that it’s through these experiences that we are all connected. His access to an array of social, cultural, professional, and economic circles, through my own unique experiences, allows for powerful collaboration and exchange.
