DIB Leadership
Rich Fairbank
Founder and CEO
“At Capital One, it is not just about diversity in numbers. It’s about every associate sharing a sense of possibility, unbounded by their identity.”
Theresita Richard
Managing Vice President of DIB
"Together, we are building a better, stronger Capital One
for everyone — a place where people of all backgrounds and
experiences can thrive.”
2021 DIB Principles
Grow the diversity of our talent
Create a culture of inclusion and belonging where all can thrive
Promote fairness in our systems and programs
Growing Representation
We remain firmly committed to growing representation and inclusion - across our candidate pool, new hires, associates and leadership. We are deeply invested in efforts to grow representation across all levels. We have made strides, and remain focused on continued progress.
DESIGNING FOR DIB
Equity by Design
To create more equitable experiences for associates and customers, Capital One launched Equity by Design. The program was inspired by the belief that everyone contributing to the design process must feel empowered to allow the fullness of their lived experience and perspective to inform their work - and that doing so can transform associate and customer experiences.
Enriching our Culture
Recruiting
Capital One engages in 100+ events annually and partners with organizations who share our goals of increasing workforce representation and belonging as we seek to reach talent from underrepresented groups and help ensure a more equitable future for all. We remain focused on growing relationships, investment and campus presence at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs).
INVESTING IN DIB
