Dionna Smith, GPHR, Global Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Thumbtack

Dionna Smith (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dionnasmithgphr/) has found a role that gives her the opportunity to impact not only her fellow teammates, but the community of people Thumbtack is supporting and the community of customers using Thumbtack. Her mission: to create inclusion for absolutely everyone.

The resulting theme: Compared to just a decade ago, the new world we live in doesn't require a college degree. Tradespeople and entrepreneurs are making a comeback in ways that haven't been seen since the 1900s. This marks increased optimism for closing the wealth gap.
