Please join us in congratulating Dr. Benjamin Ola. Akande, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer, on being recognized as the DEI Trailblazer of the Year at the 2024 InvestmentNews Awards in New York City last week. He shared a few thoughts with us about the honor: “We [Stifel] really believe in the golden rule – that you treat everyone as you would like to be treated. That’s the very essence and the beginnings of what diversity, equity, and inclusion is all about. I am honored to accept the award; however, the credit goes to the organization and all of the wonderful people at Stifel, including our leader Ron Kruszewski, for giving me the opportunity to play a role in this journey.”
Congrats! So very excited for you and such well-deserved recognition for your extraordinary talent and commitment to advancing DEI 😊
We congratulate you on your most recent deserved award. Congratulations, weldon and best wishes!
