She herself has faced prejudices throughout her life, but as a HR Professional in the entertainment industry for over 25 years, and now SVP of Human Resources, Globally, Hoai Scott, has played a key role in educating leaders in diversity and inclusion, leading with purpose and creating a culture of inclusion and belonging in the workplace. Beginning in 2018, NBCU began a partnership with the Anti-Recidivism Coalition in Los Angeles to open a door to those who were justice involved but pledged to be crime free, gang free, drug free, enrolled in a school and volunteering in their community.
