Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club, who will also speak at the summit, said:

“As a global nonprofit organization, we have a long-standing commitment to giving back to the industry and providing programs that help improve the industry's diversity and gender equality. The ad industry has a gender bias problem, and institutional change will happen only when it comes from management.  We’re starting Right The Ratio to stimulate dialogue among agency leaders and make that change happen.”
