Since rejoining Ecolab in 2022, Dexter has significantly advanced Ecolab’s 2030 diversity ambitions. With his team, he continues to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) throughout the company’s value chain. Under his leadership, the team’s efforts have strengthened partnerships with the company’s supply chain team and commercial businesses, expanding the impact of DEI and broadening its reach to their field organizations. This step-change in partnerships has helped to create a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace as demonstrated by Ecolab’s recent employee engagement score, which showed significant improvement across critical measures of enterprise engagement, retention, and inclusion.
His leadership impact is also evident in the development of Engagement and Inclusion teams within the company’s manufacturing plants, the launch of the Commercial Diverse Talent Academy, and numerous customer engagements. Notably, his collaboration with the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business has positioned Ecolab as an influential leader in the DEI space. Dexter’s influence has raised awareness of the importance of an inclusive culture and positioned the Ecolab team for continued growth and success in 2024 and beyond.
