Last month, Porsche's Powered by Culture Business Resource Group hosted special guest Andrew Davis, Sony Music Entertainment's EVP & Global Chief People Experience Officer, for a conversation centered around the value of belonging as we rounded out #CaribbeanHeritage month with colleagues across North America.   "In my experience, employees need three elements to thrive: Direction, which is leadership, Growth & Development, which is Capability building and an environment that allows you to thrive, which is culture," shared Davis, who spoke of his personal experience as a teenager moving to the US from Jamaica. "My parents taught us the value of getting things done. Work ethic and the belief that things happen for a reason have driven my personal journey - and shape my professional pursuits.""   The candid conversation between Davis and MHP Americas, Inc. – A Porsche Company CEO and President, Tobias Hoffmeister, was a dive into topics from the value of relationships to the impact of technology on industries including music, automotive and mental health.   #DrivenByDreams #CaribbeanHeritageMonth #Belonging
