Charis Baines

Bio:

Charis (she/her) is Global ERG & Inclusion Manager at Imperial Brands, a global consumer-focused business with a distinctive challenger role in the transforming tobacco and nicotine industry. In her role, Charis partners with Business Employee Resource Group (BERG) leads from around the world to bring their initiatives to life; ensuring their work is both meaningful and aligned with Imperial’s global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy.

Before transitioning into the DEI space Charis built a 15-year career in communications, working across a range of organisations from global corporations to agile start-ups. When she’s not championing inclusion at work, Charis can often be found volunteering with a local cat charity… writing social media posts one minute and transporting rescued cats the next.
