She has testified twice before the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services as an expert witness on workplace fairness. Before SHRM, she served as CEO of Fair360, where she led data scientists who built the predictive models and benchmarking tools that measure what inclusion actually does to workforce performance \u2014 growing revenue 49% during peak DEI turbulence. She holds MIT certifications in Artificial Intelligence in Business Strategy and Machine Learning. Carolynn doesn&#8217;t come at this as an advocate. She comes at it as someone who built the measurement infrastructure \u2014 and testified under oath about what the data shows. With the IBM settlement, the White House CEA study, and federal contractor compliance deadlines reshaping the landscape simultaneously, she is the most operationally credible voice available on what this moment actually means \u2014 and what business leaders should do next.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carolynn Johnson is President of the SHRM Center for Inclusion and Diversity \u2014 the think tank inside the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":539864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[261],"tags":[291,289,290,18,3492,19,17,82],"class_list":["post-539863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-eire","tag-ibm","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116765526870161368","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=539863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/539863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/539864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=539863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=539863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=539863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
