She has lived and worked in both Australia and London, UK.
Bernadette’s work on diversity and inclusion, and inclusive leadership more specifically, has been recognized globally. She co-created Deloitte’s Six Signature Traits of inclusive leadership framework and 360 assessment tool and co-authored a number of publications during her time including:

Her motivation stems from an unwavering belief that diversity and inclusion drives business value and the possibility that she can help make the world a better place.
DR SANDY CASPI SABLE
Co-CEO
Together with Bernadette Dillon, Sandy built the Inclusive Leadership Compass, and for close to 15 years has worked with market leading, global organizations to help them progress their diversity and inclusion ambitions.
Sandy is a recognized expert in the field and sought after public speaker on DE&I. Her particular expertise lies in assisting organizations to build Inclusive Leadership capability at all levels. Most recently, Sandy and Bernadette’s thought leadership featured in Inclusive Leadership: Transforming Diverse Lives, Workplaces, and Societies, Ferdman, Prime & Riggio, 2021 Routledge.
Sandy was a founding leader in Deloitte Australia’s Diversity and Inclusion consulting practice, and in addition to consulting to the firm’s clients around DE&I, she played a key role in advancing the partnership’s own inclusive leadership capability. Sandy was a member of the original working group for the Melbourne Business School’s Gender Equity Project, and has been engaged as an advisor around gender inclusive practices by leaders across the world.
Sandy’s first professional incarnation was as a commercial lawyer and mediator, but her practice as a management consultant and executive coach has consumed the last two decades of her career. She is wildly optimistic about the powers of leaders to influence change within and beyond their organizations, and is grateful to be able to work in this space.
