Founder & CEO
2016
"Good things happen to those who hustle." - Anaïs Nin. Hustle Crew started as a meetup for underrepresented techies in London in 2016: now we turn community insight into inclusion education so the future can be a place where businesses are centred on belonging and redistributing power. We have worked with teams at the NHS, All Plants, Bloom & Wild, Stella McCartney and Sky Comcast to help them be more inclusive: are you next?
