Summary

Ignoring DEI isn’t just bad business. It’s expensive. Stacy talks to Stephanie Pimentel, founder of Lumina Global Advisory, who shares a real talk perspective on what exclusion actually does inside a business: high turnover, low performance, and missed growth. She explains why DEI isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s directly tied to whether your business can scale. From investor confidence to operational risk, this conversation breaks down how culture impacts your bottom line long before it shows up in your numbers.
