Madeline Ling
Chief Financial Officer
As an Asian American who had lived in many countries, I tried to hide my difference throughout my younger years. It was not until twenty years ago, after sitting on a business flight surrounded by homogenous-looking people, when I started to be okay with being different. When it comes to diversity of viewpoints and nationalities, Agoda truly is an oasis that many companies can only dream of. My hope is that everyone at all Agodans see inclusion as a collective effort and realize our role in building and maintaining diversity and inclusion in our own respective areas. In this way, we will always have a powerful creative engine that continues to push us forward, perpetually.

One of my favorite memories has been flying across the world to Atlanta, USA to represent Agoda in Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA), an organization that connects and inspires thousands of LGBT MBA professionals from around the world. Returning to the US to sponsor ROMBA and represent Agoda has been pivotal for me as it allowed me to reflect upon my own career progression as well as to remind me of how privileged I am to be at a company in Asia where I can continue to be my authentic self.

Senior Product Manager
To me, diversity and inclusion means accepting that people are inherently different and acknowledging our own biases for people who are similar to us. In order to minimize these biases in the workplace, I believe each of us needs to make conscious & continued efforts to not give in to these biases. I strongly believe that a diverse workforce is Agoda's biggest strength, and I want to do my bit to ensure that we celebrate & encourage this diversity.

We are all different, whether it be our nationality, appearance, or lifestyle. I want to make sure that these differences are accepted, valued, and celebrated among not just a small group of people, but everyone at Agoda.
Emily Hancock
Senior Marketing Strategy Manager
Diversity and inclusion is about creating an environment where all people feel welcomed and included. A place where differences are celebrated and recognized. This also means a zero tolerance mindset for harassment or discrimination of any kind.
Fabrice Facorat
Senior Database Administrator
A diverse workplace allows us to share and learn from our differences, which in turn helps us grow both personally and professionally. Agoda offers a safe environment for everyone to thrive and I want to make sure that equal opportunity is given to all to join and participate. Diversity is all about equity, tolerance, and understanding.
