Maxine Williams: The face of Facebook on diversity

With its ambitions encircling the globe, diversity has become a top priority at Facebook.

As Global Head of Diversity, Maxine Williams is the one charged with making Facebook's workforce better reflect the demographics of its users. "For Facebook, diversity is imperative to our future growth," she said. "If we don't get it right, we risk losing relevance in an incredibly diverse world." To attract more blacks and Hispanics, Williams says Facebook is trying to make it known "that we want you." "I know and care deeply about the difference which opportunity and diversity make to the quality of what we can produce together," Williams said. "It is an honor and a blessing to work on leveraging the power of diversity every day."
