On September 20, 2022, Kathryn McKenzie, Divisional Vice President of Global Citizenship and Sustainability at Abbott, and Paul Ellingstad, a former ESG and Purpose Advisor to Pearson, joined Noa Gafni, Executive Director of the Rutgers Institute for Corporate Social Innovation, in conversation to candidly share how their respective companies are evolving and offer their advice on how to embrace change for greater equity. The session was hosted by Chirlie Felix, a Managing Director at FSG.
