Caren has 30 years of management and leadership experience as the head of talent and diversity for many of the world’s top law firms, including Arnold & Porter, Cooley, and Weil Gotshal. After hiring 3700 lawyers and supporting their advancement to partner and other high-level roles, Caren co-founded Lawyer Metrics (a start-up company later acquired by the Access Group) that pioneered a “Moneyball” data-analytics approach to selecting and advancing high-performing talent. Following that success, Caren founded Diversity Lab to focus on increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion in law and other professions through the use of data, science, and technology.

As Diversity Lab’s CEO, Caren works with more than 20 talent experts and data scientists to create and experiment with innovative initiatives that cultivate diversity in the leadership ranks of top law firms, legal departments, government agencies, and other organizations. Her passion for diversifying these high-level roles is driven in part knowing that many of these leaders will eventually serve in other positions – such as judges, C-suite executives, university presidents, and Congress – that impact society more broadly.
