in this episode of move like this, host bonnie buol ruszczyk and guest donny shimamoto, cpa.citp, cgma, explore the complex landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion (dei) in the accounting profession, specifically in the current political climate.
shimamoto, founder and managing director of intraprisetechknowlogies llc and founder and inspiration architect for the center for accounting transformation, shares insights into the challenges faced by underrepresented professionals, drawing from his personal experiences as an asian male in leadership roles. they discuss the persistent barriers that prevent women and people of color from advancing to top leadership positions despite making up a significant portion of accounting graduates.
the discussion delves into the current political climate surrounding dei efforts, acknowledging the pushback and misconceptions about diversity initiatives. shimamoto emphasizes that these efforts are not about quotas or tokenism but about creating genuine opportunities and a sense of belonging for all professionals. the conversation highlights the importance of moving beyond mere inclusion to fostering an environment where every team member feels they truly belong and can contribute meaningfully.
