Building a diverse business development team in EMEA

Anil Karavadra, EMEA Head of Business Development at Cloudflare, shares his experience in building a diverse team since he joined the company. He emphasizes the importance of having a diverse workforce to better understand and relate to customers from different backgrounds. To increase gender diversity on his team, Anil changed job descriptions to be more gender-neutral and included language requirements in the job titles. These changes led to an almost 50:50 mix between male and female candidates. He advises hiring managers to check their processes and make small adjustments that can have a significant impact on attracting diverse talent.
