In this interview, Ashild Hanne Larsen, Equinor’s Vice President of Subsurface Excellence and Digital, shares what DE&I means to her, how the international energy company embraces the concept, and lessons learned along with her journey in her career.

• More about the opportunities and challenges lie ahead for DE&I over the next year?
