Prophet hires Amber Haggins as Global Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Global Consultancy Prophet has announced that Amber Haggins has joined the firm as Global Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I). 

Haggins will help the firm drive forward its DE&I efforts to continue to create a more inclusive and impactful experience for Prophet employees and clients. This new leadership role emerged out of Prophet’s commitment to DE&I made last summer. The search for a strong leader, who would fit Prophet’s needs and ambitions, was highly thorough and intentional, confirmed the company.

 “We are beyond excited to be able to work with Amber, our Prophet DE&I council and the rest of the firm community to continue to drive our DE&I agenda forward,” stated Chiaki Nishino, President at Prophet and executive sponsor of the firm’s DE&I efforts. “Her experience and expertise are exactly what we were looking for in this essential leadership role. We look forward to learning and growing as a more inclusive and equitable organisation under her leadership.”

EXTENSIVE DE&I EXPERIENCE

Haggins stepped into this newly created role with extensive experience in DE&I, having come from global law firm Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP. There she served as Director of Diversity & Inclusion; responsible for embedding diversity, inclusion and cultural competency into both the firm’s day-to-day operations and long-tail strategic goals.  

Before Katten, Haggins worked across government and aerospace industries to lead the strategy and execution of DE&I initiatives. Early in her career, she served as a practicing attorney in Washington DC, where she specialised in commercial litigation, products liability, labor & employment litigation and counselling.

Commenting on the new appointment, Haggins stated: “It is such an honour to join Prophet and a leadership team determined and committed to progress in diversity, equity and inclusion. We will continue to approach our DE&I journey with humility, transparency and accountability to make a meaningful impact. I look forward to partnering with Propheteers to make a real difference at Prophet, in our communities and for our clients.”
