Both its CEO and CFO are women, and the majority of its senior leadership team is made up of women and minority executives, with more than 40% of the entire workforce identifying as a racial or ethnic minority. The firm’s hiring process is “First Who, Then What” – a concept it borrowed from the book “Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap and Others Don’t” by Jim Collins.
