New York, November 19, 2021 -  Fragomen is pleased to announce that Kanaan Generette Oliver has been appointed as Global Director of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).  Kanaan brings to Fragomen vast experience from AmLaw 100 firms, where she designed and implemented strategies to recruit, retain, develop, and elevate minorities, women and LGBTQ+ attorneys.

In her new role, Kanaan will be responsible for continuing Fragomen’s pursuit of propelling DEI initiatives into all facets of the firm.  She will work with Fragomen’s DEI Co-Chairs, the Chief People Officer, affinity groups, recruitment teams and DEI-focused committees to further enhance the firm’s longstanding and proud commitment to increasing diverse representation and inclusion, where everyone is encouraged to bring their true selves and identities to work.

“I am honored to join Fragomen at this historic time, where DEI is transitioning from conversations to action. I am passionate about promoting equity in the legal profession and I look forward to continuing this meaningful work at Fragomen”, said Kanaan. “It is important to me to join a firm that is really committed to living out its values. I am encouraged by Fragomen’s willingness to devote resources to supporting and nurturing its staff and clients.”

“We are truly excited to welcome Kanaan to Fragomen”, said Salvador Malo, Fragomen’s Chief People Officer. “We are proud of the diverse and inclusive culture we have built at the firm and want to continue elevating.  Kanaan’s arrival at Fragomen, with her wealth of skills and experience, will help us drive our DEI strategy to the next level for the benefit of our people and clients.”

Fragomen is frequently recognized for its progress and forward-thinking in the DEI space. In 2021, Fragomen appointed 17 new Partners and three Of Counsel, a class that represented the largest and most diverse group in the firm’s history.
