Founded in 2018, Pluto Travel is a London-based travel tech startup that aims to remove the hassle from travel by helping travelers discover, organize and protect their trips.
According to co-founder and CEO Alex Rainey, prior to the killing of George Floyd in May, Pluto’s team – which comprises eight white men – would have said it considered diversity and inclusion important at the company without much to show for it.
After signalling its intention to try and make a difference, through the adoption of a pledge to antiracism, diversity and inclusion, Rainey was asked to explain further how the company arrived at the strategy during an interview at Phocuswright Europe 2020 last week.
His discussion with PhocusWire's Jill Menze is included below:
