Client Testimonials

After working with Alnylam for nearly 15 years leading Regulatory Affairs and then moving into the Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer role, it has been great to have Allison as a resource to help me bounce off ideas, solidify our strategy and ratify our approach to effecting change. I am so happy to hear that Path Forward Consulting is offering the DEBI Action Learning Cohort so that HR and DEI professionals can benefit from her expertise and inclusion acumen.

SARASWATHY (SARA) NOCHUR, CHIEF DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION OFFICER, ALNYLAM PHARMACEUTICALS


You were absolutely outstanding, downright exemplary from beginning to the end on Thursday! You were in command of your material and you engaged with the audience in a safe way so that all felt free to speak up and grab all the learning they could. I learned new information that could only help me make the case here at Harvard how very compelling it is to deal first hand and at a minimum have the conversation about RACE in a way that becomes a learning event for all. I have been doing this work in many different roles—consultant, corporate executive, staff, and voluntarily as a board member many years. You nailed it with contemporary thought and showed both sides of the continuum.
