Reginald (Reggie) Willis is the Chief Diversity Officer at Ally Financial. He was instrumental in developing a robust connected network of eight Employee Resource Groups. More than half of employees are members of one or more ERGs, serving as a testament to the power of inclusion and leading to purpose-driven work. Reggie embraces an approach to DEI that begins with meeting people where they are and respecting where they come from. He encourages leaders to commit to ‘doing it right’ by being a relentless ally for one another as a first step to building a sustained DEI practice that’s foundational to company success.
Reggie doesn’t shy from the hard work and persistence it takes to drive DEI success, because the results benefit the organization, customers, and communities. His unwavering leadership supports Ally business leaders in expanding the talent pipeline and getting more involved in financial and social inclusion efforts in the Detroit and Charlotte communities – Ally’s hometown markets. Reggie and his team’s dedication to inclusionary efforts both inside and outside company halls have made Ally one of the best places to work in financial services.
