Elizabeth 'Zi' Adely
Trade Marketing Account Manager
HP

I have worked at HP for 3 years, starting as an intern then returning as a full-time employee once I graduated from university with a 1st class degree in Advertising & Marketing. As an intern I co-established what is now known as a Multicultural BRG in the UK&I, spurred on by my desire for HP to respond and reflect the growing UK ethnic diversity and our plights. Upon my return I was welcomed back to over 130 members.

My zeal for equality and equity paired with pride in my cultural heritage (and desire for others to have such pride) motivates me to champion the matter of DEI within the workplace. Educating others on various cultures, Attracting & Empowering diverse talent as well as Collaborating with various BAME community outreach programmes. I'm passionate about people, often volunteering at a foodbank, providing support to those who need guidance getting into work and advocating being ‘your authentic self’. Away from work, I enjoy the arts particularly painting and poetry, bringing balance to my life.

I am the host of a spoken word and creative showcase for the creative team TwoStep LDN, providing a platform to creatives to share their work and network.
