A Beacon of Inclusivity and Client Focus

“I believe mutual respect among team members is critical to delivering success for clients. I’m committed to fostering an atmosphere where diversity is not just accepted but celebrated through community and shared experience,” explains Branson.

Through local networking programmes, Branson has been proactive in reaching out to interns, even before they set foot in the office. In so doing, he sets expectations and builds connections that last well beyond their internships. Not stopping at interns, Branson extends his hands-on approach to new hires as well, ensuring they’re aware of and feel included in Protiviti’s supportive environment.

Within the Houston Office, Branson is part of a Training Committee dedicated to the continued upskilling and development of team members. “I’m an advocate for Training Committee events that focus on demystifying what it means to converse with leadership and instead builds relationships with intent, such as their MD Fireside Chats,” details Branson. Branson recognises the strength of Protiviti’s people and their documented internal knowledgebase. These resources proved invaluable during the start of his career with the firm, and he has focused on ensuring graduate hires and new employees have access to tools, databases and knowledge that maximise their potential in delivering for clients.
