"We are honored to have Ms. Herman as an external advisor," said Gil Casellas, vice president of corporate responsibility for Dell. "Her knowledge and experience in guiding organizations, as well as her work with the department of labor distinguishes her as a leader in designing and developing strong diverse workforces and promoting equal opportunity. This is a very important part of meeting our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and going forward, we will continually do more to ensure we are creating one of the best places to work in the world."
