Randi Bryant

Randi Bryant is an entrepreneur, author, public speaker, trainer, and diversity and inclusion strategist who has spent over two decades focusing on substantive changes rather than simply checking the diversity and inclusion box. As the Sista-intendent of Inclusivity, she cultivates dialogues that tackle tough racial, gender, and cultural issues, aiming to create spaces where everyone feels like they belong. She is also the founder and president of Bryant Consulting Group, a leading change management company that she has run for 17 years.

Bryant has extensive experience as a DEI strategist, having worked with notable companies such as McDonald’s, Benefit Cosmetics, Marriott Hotels, Comcast, and the New York Transit Authority. In June 2021, she joined Freshworks as its Vice President and Chief DEI Officer. Her work is largely based on the power of communication to lead to inclusive environments where individuals feel comfortable being their authentic selves. Her trademarked “Fingerprint to Blueprint” method of change management, which she designed, is a testament to her innovative approach to fostering inclusivity.

As a published author, Bryant offers practical advice on navigating difficult-to-discuss topics. Her works include "Neversays: 25 Phrases You Should Never Ever Say to Keep Your Job and Your Friends" and "Truthing", and she had an essay included in the anthology "All The Women in My Family Sing". These publications are based on the belief that people are good, but often uninformed and uncomfortable with difference, and they provide insightful guidelines on addressing these issues.

Bryant holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from Tuskegee University, a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Design with a focus on multiculturalism from The College of William & Mary, and has pursued doctoral studies in curriculum and instruction management at the University of Virginia. She is often sought after as a speaker, delivering engaging and informative presentations globally and appearing as a DEI speaker on several radio and podcast shows. She has been featured on media platforms such as Sirius XM, Sheen Magazine, Black News Channel, and KGMI News Talk Radio, and is active on social media platforms such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
