Fahad answers these questions:

1)  You went to school at NYU, then J&J, Grove and Adweek - a full fledged marketer. Decompose this for our audience and tell us how all this change came to be.
2) What is Hue? Who does Hue focus on and why now? What void is being filled?
3) How are you working to lead Hue up front? What is your specific role? What does a member do vs a supporter?
4) Unsafe, unheard, unvalued…it’s the tag line associated with your state of inequity report. What is the focus of this report? Why do we need this now more than ever? How do you go about collecting data and making this available?
5) How are you focused on building a team and growing Hue?
6) What is Hue’s key message for employers? What is that very same message for associates?
7) What is your advice for the CPG industry on diversity & inclusion? Will change and transformation prevail?
8) The pandemic has obviously changed human behavior it seems, particularly with respect to comity or considerate interactions between different ethnic, gender & marginalized communities - do you agree. In the role you play, how are you responding to this and preparing for the transformation?
