Risposta di Redbubble
8yFrom Martin Hosking, Redbubble's Founder and CEO
You have raised an important issue that Redbubble, along with many other technology companies, is dealing with, that of inclusiveness and diversity. I want to emphasise that we consider that promoting diversity and inclusiveness is not only fundamentally aligned to our values but is a key to success.
We recognise that the inclusive environment we aspire to has not yet been realised. While progress has been made in key areas that we have focussed on including gender diversity in the engineering team and in leadership roles, clearly we still have more work to do. We are committed to learning from our mistakes, embracing feedback and improving.
What we need to do now is to double-down on living up to our ideals and aspirations. We have important things to do in hiring and leadership development that we remain committed to. We need to understand more about the challenges people are facing at Redbubble.
I appreciate your commentary about the email. As you note the email was tongue in cheek but it lacked the kind of compassion that I seek to role model. I accept accountability for the impact and I have unreservedly apologised for the hurt these words caused.
We want to see an environment at Redbubble that is genuinely inclusive. We see this as an opportunity to realise our aspirations and I want to underscore our commitment to the journey.
Martin
