Together It’s Possible
Arias Solutions was formed to specialize in Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in all aspects of business operations. My unique background offers insight and a judicious voice into related legal and public affairs matters as well.
I graduated from DePaul University with a bachelor of arts in political science, earned a juris doctor degree from Northwestern University’s Pritzker School of Law, and completed Harvard Business School’s customized marketing program for cable executives. I practiced law, ran cable systems, and built a best in class D&I program. I understand the challenges involved in D&I and I’m prepared to help you move past them.

Stakeholder Impact
To customize a robust Diversity and Inclusion program for any client, it’s critical to identify and understand key stakeholders — both inside and outside the organization. Such an approach ensures that a strong framework and strategies that will work in your organization are included into any overall solution.

Three foundational pillars are put in place to fully support customized Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. Importantly, policies, processes, and key metrics provide the critical data, information, and insights for leadership and teams.
