Executive D&I Steering Committee

D&I efforts need to happen at every level of an organization. The Executive D&I Committee spearheads those efforts by implementing policies and practices that empower our diverse communities.

I’ve always understood the power of connecting with people from all walks of life. In both my personal and work history, I’ve always sought to create environments where various personalities can get to know each other and experience the degrees of life, love, and humanity that exists in all of us. It’s been an amazing opportunity to bring this innate passion into my role as Executive Sponsor and President of the Rakuten Americas Black Employee Alliance. Creating new frameworks and systems that proactively advocate for and build connections with the Black community, from individual consumers to business owners, is why I keep pushing forward and will continue to be a diversity, equity, and inclusion change agent.

Dannielle Cumberbatch

Rakuten Advertising’s Head of Product Operations & Black Employee Alliance Executive Sponsor/President

Before joining Rakuten Advertising, I’d always been passionately involved in employee wellbeing – in particular pertaining to diversity and inclusion. As President of the Rakuten Americas Pride+ employee resource group, I can really effect change by achieving a culture of true inclusion – one that values, celebrates, and encourages the diverse LGBTQQIP2SAA voices within the organization. Upholding and centering my community, providing an identity-affirming professional network, and aiding the recruitment, development, and retention of LGBTQIA+ colleagues make my day-to-day work life all the more meaningful.

Trish Pomar

Rakuten Advertising’s Global Director of Digital Marketing & Pride+ President

I have had many conversations with colleagues throughout my tenure at Rakuten about coping with invisible disabilities in the workplace, but in the past, they were behind closed doors. Having those conversations in the open and finding ways to support and empower Rakutenians affected by disability are important goals I can contribute to as Treasurer of RakAbility. Disability is part of life, and everyone benefits when we find ways to include a variety of voices, thinking styles, strengths, and problem-solving approaches.
