It’s so exciting! My friend and fellow CWN member India Gary has been included on the Powerlist 2010, a list of the 100 most influential black people in the UK.
 Her citation describes her as “one of the most senior black women in UK banking.”
Today, India is visiting 10 Downing Street with others who have been similarly recognized. The Powerlist is topped by Baroness Scotland, the Attorney General and Tidjane Thiam, chief executive of Prudential.
Awareness of the business case of diversity seems to be growing these days in Europe – also thanks to fierce competition coming from emerging economies.
