Why Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (“DIB”)?

LiveRamp strives to make it a place where all people can thrive, because building an inclusive workplace is simply the right thing to do.

Why is DIB important at LiveRamp?

DIB is important at LiveRamp because building a workplace where all can thrive not only improves business performance, it’s simply the right thing to do. The company’s DIB programs focus on developing intentional, systematic practices that enable people from all backgrounds to contribute and succeed.

“We will not perfect DIB in one year—or even several years. Our journey will be an ongoing process of learning, adapting, auditing, and reengineering. As long as we are committed to doing what’s right and leaning into those uncomfortable moments, greatness will always be the end result.”

Brief background of Scott Howe, CEO, in his own words

I am a self-described data geek and spent my professional career working with amazing colleagues in software, marketing and data industries.

I’ve spent the last 30 years driving strategy and growth initiatives for various SaaS businesses across industries, including marketing and advertising, for companies such as Acxiom, Microsoft, and aQuantive.

Career credits include building the world’s largest digital agency: Avenue A | Razorfish; pioneering people-based media buying (DRIVE Performance Media, aka the Microsoft Media Network); and developing the systems utilized for ad serving and attribution (Atlas International).

If I’m OOO, chances are I’m either building furniture in my garage workshop, canvassing the country in my refurbished 1956 vintage Airstream trailer, or cheering on my kids during their crew regattas. I’m also a lifelong fan and part owner of the Green Bay Packers, and invite all others to join the bandwagon.
