Ethnic Diversity in the Communications Industry – Satyen Dayal (Executive Director and Head of UK Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Edelman)

Satyen is a senior communications consultant and has represented technology brands since the Dotcom era. The majority of Satyen’s time has been spent inside the agency environment. Here Satyen has worked with the talented folks of Edelman, Ketchum, Weber Shandwick and Spark Communications. 
 
Experiences with representing the underrepresented (tech voices are often the most misunderstood) and working as a comms leader with South Asian heritage, has drawn Satyen to the wider conversation of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion. Both for Satyen are not mutually exclusive: a glimpse into what’s shaping the future informs how we should approach conversations with people today. As a result, in addition to his continued client work, Satyen been tasked with spearheading Edelman’s UK D&I strategy. 
 
Satyen started their career as a graduate of Public Relations from Bournemouth University.
