Keisha Bell has always taken a fact-based and data-oriented approach to shape organizational practices that have positive impacts. During her 20+ year tenure at DTCC, where she last served as Managing Director and Head of Talent Management and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Keisha implemented a number of programs to drive positive change including a self- identification program called “Count Me In”, “Ally to Upstander” training and MARC (Men Advocating for Real Change). She also launched the “Advancing Women Leaders” program, which was focused on developing leadership skills of high-performing female directors. To date, 38% of Advancing Women Leaders participants have been promoted. A major component of Keisha’s success has been her partnerships across DTCC’s businesses, executive committee, and senior leaders. Keisha is an effective communicator who builds allies and connections through understanding and awareness. She readily brings forward data, evidence, and advice and has developed transparent reporting and accountability for DEI.
