YWCA Greenwich has appointed Simone Quartey as the new director of its Center for Equity & Justice.
Quartey previously managed diversity and inclusion at Societe Generale Corporate Investment Banking, where she integrated training programs and events, emphasizing the importance of inclusive leadership and combating bias. Earlier in her career, she was a civil rights and inclusion specialist at the New York Power Authority.
“Together with YWCAs across the country, we continue to strengthen the YWCA mission of eliminating racism and empowering women through programs such as the YWCA Greenwich Center for Equity and Justice,” said YWCA Greenwich President & CEO Mary Lee Kiernan.
“Simone brings substantial expertise and experience in our mission, particularly in the corporate context, as well as a deep understanding of this region as a native of Westchester County. She has hit the ground running, forging relationships with community partners and driving forward with the Center’s work, and we are thrilled Simone has joined YWCA Greenwich.”
