Mike Zani, CEO of The Predictive Index, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership. “At PI, we believe talent optimization will allow organizations to fulfill the mission of ‘Better Work, Better World,’ and equitable work is fundamental to that mission.

Troy Prince, Founder & CEO of Wall Street Bound, shared Zani’s excitement. “PI helps me set these young people up for success, not failure. It gives me the tools to anticipate job fit, put the right people in the right roles, and show the world what we know to be true: Diversity drives business success.”
Prince continued, “With candidate behavioral fit and other people data in hand, we can now work with our corporate partners to create more objective recruitment and hiring processes that will naturally result in an increase in diverse hires.”
Facilitating the partnership is Nicole Smart, Diversity & Inclusion Principal Consultant at Smart EDI Solutions LLC.
