Dr. Tessy Ojo will be leading the conversation with Prince Harry, alongside Paul Fipps, the President of Global Customer Operations at ServiceNow, and two young recipients of the organization’s Legacy Award, Sikander “Sonny” Khan and Christina Williams. The panel will delve into the topic of youth leadership and how employers can actively create avenues for young individuals to enter and excel in the workplace. This discussion will undoubtedly shed light on important issues surrounding youth empowerment and leadership in today’s society.
The initiative called “Pledge to Invest” will be launched during this event, aiming to recognise and celebrate future leaders while encouraging businesses to support their goals. Dr. Ojo emphasised the significance of investing in youth leadership, stating that such investments pave the way for a promising future workforce and consumer base. The Diana Award has a rich history of empowering young people for over 25 years, enabling them to tackle critical issues facing the world today.
Established in 1999 by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown, The Diana Award boasts notable patrons such as former Prime Minister David Cameron, Dame Julia Samuel, former Scottish First Minister Jack McConnell, and Esther Rantzen. The organisation remains a vital connection for Prince Harry and Prince William in their philanthropic endeavours, embodying Princess Diana’s spirit of empowering the younger generation.
Prince Harry’s upcoming appearance at the Diana Award Conversation in Las Vegas follows his recent visit to New York City with Meghan Markle, where the royal couple showed support for the Responsible Technology Youth Power Fund Convening. During the visit, Prince Harry commended the young leaders and funders working towards a safer digital future, stressing the importance of prioritising safety over profits in today’s tech-driven world.
As technology continues to evolve, Prince Harry’s message resonates deeply with the need for accountability and responsibility in the digital realm. His involvement in initiatives that empower and support the next generation reinforces his commitment to making a positive impact on society. The Diana Award Conversation in Las Vegas is poised to be an event that highlights the importance of nurturing youth leadership and creating opportunities for young change-makers to thrive.
