Alisha deeply believes that diversity, equity, and inclusion are not only moral imperatives, but critical elements to business success. To her, bringing together diverse perspectives allows us to create an environment where people can be their authentic selves. She has empowered a more diverse and inclusive organization by elevating several LGBTQ+ leaders to senior leadership roles and encouraging community and belonging with national employee resource group events. Her efforts have been recognized in Yahoo Finance’s Heroes 100 List of Executives and PharmaVOICE 100. She is a Board Member of the Biogen Foundation, supporting health equity initiatives. Last year, Biogen was named a Corporate Ally Award winner by the Boston Business Journal for its longstanding commitments to the Greater Boston LGBTQ+ community, and for the last nine years, has scored 100% on the Human Rights Campaign’s Foundation’s Corporate Equality Index, named one of the Best Places to Work for LGBTQ+ equality.
