The World Adventurous Techie with Adijat Akinsipe

In this first episode of Season 12, Cassi-Ann Hutchinson interviews Adijat Akinsipe, a Talent Acquisition Strategist at RBC with an avid passion for technology and a strong background in keyboard programming.

Having transitioned her career focus from infrastructure to people, she discovered a distinct passion for diversity and inclusion in the tech sector. Her perspective on this subject is grounded in the belief that diversity of thought is as important, if not more so, than traditional diversity factors such as race or gender.

Adijat emphasizes the necessity for diverse perspectives and experiences to drive innovation in tech and believes that diversity and inclusion should be at the forefront of all aspects within the industry. This includes sourcing candidates, fostering career growth, and mentoring individuals. She argues for the importance of diversity of thought leading to a wider range of ideas and solutions, ultimately better serving a diverse customer base. Her belief is that prioritizing diversity and inclusion is crucial for a successful technology talent acquisition process.
