“We’ve long been committed to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion at the firm,” said Paige Ross, global head of human resources at Blackstone. “In recent years, we’ve expanded our recruiting pipeline, introduced new programs to increase engagement and retention of employees and set goals for more diverse boards. I’m thrilled to welcome Devin to the firm as we continue to push ourselves to be a leader in this area.”
