What is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion?

DEI stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and it refers to the efforts made by companies to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace. Magna Reign starts with hiring practices, taking intentional steps to attract, hire, and retain individuals from diverse backgrounds and identities.

Magna Reign’s hiring strategy involves identifying and addressing any biases or barriers in the hiring process that may prevent diverse candidates from being considered or selected for job openings. This can include reviewing job descriptions for inclusive language, expanding recruitment efforts to reach diverse candidate pools, and implementing blind screening processes to reduce bias in candidate selection.

Once hired, creating an inclusive and equitable onboarding process that ensures all employees, regardless of their background or identity, are set up for success. This may include providing training and resources to support employees from underrepresented groups, creating employee resource groups to foster a sense of community and belonging, and implementing equitable policies and practices around pay, promotions, and performance evaluations.

Overall, Magna Reign seeks to create a workplace that values and celebrates diversity, promotes equity and fairness, and fosters a culture of inclusion where all employees feel valued, respected, and supported.

“Anthony recruited me and helped me to work remotely from my home country for a year and half during the pandemic to be closer to my family. He’s compassionate, empathetic and considerate for his employees.

He is focused and knows what he wants for a task. He picked his team where individuals had diverse skills along with their core skills. His team is also one of the most diverse teams I had the pleasure of working with.

He is a true leader that doesn’t rule by fist and provides a long runway to his team to build on. He enables them from day one and in turn sets them up for success.

He means it when he says “He’s a coach not a boss.” And I don’t lie when I say that I want to work with him again in any capacity because I know I’ll be successful.”

Anthony possesses the rare blend of exceptional leadership, discipline specialization and prior hands-on technical experience. These competencies allowed us to stand up his entire organization within the span of a year’s time which included his direct reports and their staff. From the very start of our partnership Anthony provided clear and concise direction to ensure a slate of diverse candidates whose experience, educational background and technical expertise met the needs of rapidly growing organization.

As a trusted partner to Zoom’s Talent Acquisition Team Anthony reviewed resumes, advised on recruiting, interviewing, and hiring for the Cyber Defense Team. Anthony was also instrumental in fostering an inclusive environment where the voices employees of different cultures, beliefs and ethnicities were heard. Thereby cultivating a safe, compassionate, and equitable workforce where his Teams professional contributions and differences were valued.

“Over the course of two years at Zoom I was fortunate enough to have been led by Anthony. During this time Anthony grew a team of two analysts to over eighty five, establishing a Detection & Response program consisting of six cyber security focus areas. In addition to instantiating these teams, Anthony provided strategy, direction and opportunity that fostered rapid maturity of both the teams and the program. The end result was a Detection & Response program that was capable of supporting an incredibly dynamic and growing business. Anthony’s clearly articulated vision, along with his focus on outcomes drove the team to deliver on our objective of protecting Zoom’s digital assets.
