Real estate investment firm Blackstone has named Devin Glenn as global head of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).
In his new role, Glenn will be in charge of implementing policies and initiatives that will help Blackstone and its portfolio companies achieve a more diverse and inclusive workplace. Glenn made the switch from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, where she served as assistant director of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“We’ve long been committed to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion at the firm,” said Paige Ross, global head of human resources at Blackstone. “In recent years, we’ve expanded our recruiting pipeline, introduced new programs to increase engagement and retention of employees and set goals for more diverse boards. I’m thrilled to welcome Devin to the firm as we continue to push ourselves to be a leader in this area.”
