Listen "EP 266: Reaching Senior Level Management after Relaunch: Keita Young's Exciting Career Path"
Episode Synopsis
Keita Young is an attorney who is currently Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at FanDuel. After practicing employment law earlier in her career, Keita took an 11-year career break from the legal profession. During that time she was an entrepreneur - owning a children’s specialty boutique and eventually relaunched her legal career through JPMorgan Chase’s ReEntry Program. She was selected for the inaugural 2014 Legal ReEntry cohort and over the next 8 and 1/2 years, Keita rose in seniority in the legal department, moved to Human Resources to program manage a global diversity strategy and eventually rejoined the legal department to serve as JPMC's Global Head of Outside Counsel Engagement. Keita left JPMC to become the first head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for FanDuel, the fast-growing sports-tech entertainment company. This episode is the podcast version of a previously recorded video interview, aired in its entirety on the iRelaunch website. https://www.irelaunch.com/resources/keita-young-career-path-reaching-senior-level-management
