With a goal to develop a more diverse company, Dearborn-based Carhartt made an inclusive move and hired Todd Corley as senior vice president of inclusion and sustainability, according to a press release and an article from AP News.
Corley will begin his work with the company Monday, June 28 in the new, prestigious senior leadership position, according to the article. Corley will be directly in charge of diversity, equity and inclusion strategies, sustainability initiatives, community partnerships, and corporate giving, per the article.
Corley will report to the president and chief operating officer Linda Hubbard. He is taking on this full-time role eight months after consulting with the workwear brand. During that time, he helped “navigate conversations and implement improved internal inclusion practices,” according to the company.
Corley is the founder of the TAPO Institute, an organization that advocates for inclusive leadership. He also previously served as a corporate officer for Abercrombie & Fitch. Corley teaches human resource development at Villanova University, highlighting how diversity and inclusion can create a strong corporate culture and improve a brand’s reputation.
