Driving Diversity
Aspiring to Advance
Pamay Bassey has a clear vision for leading diversity and inclusion across Kraft Heinz. “I drive a culture of continuous learning, bold creativity and intellectual curiosity,” she said. “We communicated our diversity aspirations a few years ago, and our team is always working with intention on those aspirations.” Whether supporting existing initiatives like the company’s business resource groups or establishing new programs that advance that vision, Bassey knows that building a diverse workforce will create a culture “where everyone feels that they belong and can contribute their best work.”

Flexibility First
Balanced and Flexible Culture
Alton Lynum
Director of People & Performance (HR)
Whether taking time to serve on the board of a nonprofit food pantry in Chicago or taking advantage of Kraft Heinz’ “work from anywhere” policy to spend time with his extended family in Ohio, Alton Lynum knows his hard work is empowered by a flexible culture and the company’s benefits. “Nothing embodies this support better than my paternity leave,” he added. “I completely disconnected from work to focus on my newborn daughter, and I was very grateful not to come back to infinite unread emails and a mountain of issues. It gave me the space I needed to focus on my new job as a dad.”
The flexibility we provide is critical to managing work and life.
