Kamran Khaliq – Head of MMA’s Private Equity and M&A Business Insurance Diligence Practice – recently attended a session focused on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) Intergrowth Conference in Las Vegas.

The session was entitled ‘DE&I’s Impact on The Middle Market: What’s Working and How’ and featured panelists from McKinsey, Smile Brands and Houlihan Lokey. Panelists used data backed research and experience to explain the correlation between a diverse workforce and improved performance.

“In my experience, I have found a diverse workforce can positively impact an organization in numerous ways. Performance and operational successes, financial growth and furthered creativity and innovation across product and work streams to name a few. To see my experience backed by experts in other industries and furthermore by sound research is both reassuring and encouraging.” – Kamran Khaliq
