Strengthening the human side of organizations has been the common thread throughout Ralph’s career, which led him to EY in 2018. In an environment where decision-making based on logic and facts prevails, he adds something different. Driven by his conviction that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued, he is working toward a more inclusive EY.
As Lead HR Business Partner and Inclusiveness lead, he helps shape Empower every identity, EY Netherlands’ inclusiveness program, with initiatives that foster mutual understanding, equal opportunities, and a more diverse organization. In 2023, he completed a master's degree in Diversity & Inclusion at the University of Amsterdam. He applies that knowledge and experience in his role every day.
How Ralph is Shaping the future with confidence
Feeling at ease isn't a given, Ralph knows from experience. He grew up in an environment with strong ideas about who you ought to be and how you ought to act. At EY, he champions a culture that values each person's unique identity.
“When you don't feel seen, your response is to hold back. That's a huge loss. First and foremost, for the person themselves, but also for our organization. When we see people as individuals, we create an environment where they can excel. Where they embrace the opportunities available to them and shape their own future with confidence.”
