Our Mission

Toigo's mission is to inspire change—to advance more inclusive leadership within finance and beyond.

Diversity in Finance | Access to Talent: We develop leaders and foster the career advancement of highly talented women and men throughout their MBA experience. Our 1,700 Toigo alumni are the foundation on which we have built programming to support the career ascension and retention of minority leaders in finance.

Sustained Partnerships | Inclusive Leadership: Over the past 30+ years, Toigo’s partnerships have persisted during times of both abrupt change and innovation. The trust we have earned and the lessons learned allow Toigo to help organizations fulfill the promise of more inclusive workplaces through tailored strategies.

Toigo’s strong relationships with industry leaders allow us to advocate on behalf of our Alumni with C-suite and corporate board aspirations, entrepreneurial passions and more.

We have built a model with a conviction to encourage thinking beyond what is comfortable to what is possible. Today, Toigo Alumni demonstrate the amazing power of combining talent with compassion, impact with community, and business with family. This is the Toigo Legacy.

The Need for More Diverse Leaders: Today, virtually every organization is in the midst of a workforce shift; yet few are poised to benefit from talent that today—and tomorrow—is increasingly diverse. Despite major investments, few organizations have succeeded in creating a culture where underrepresented talent is welcomed and able to thrive. As a result, a massive and growing leadership gap pervades, one that threatens more than the bottom-line of each organization. With tomorrow’s talent increasingly diverse, the impact of the leadership gap will escalate in a downward cycle of consequences: Diverse talent fails to secure meaningful leadership roles, falling short of their potential Income and wealth generation of underrepresented minorities (URMs) fails to grow Organizations are not fully benefitting from the advantages diverse teams deliver Capital decisions re: infrastructure, schools, roads, technology and more are made by a small, elite segment of the population Communities with a high concentration of diverse citizens stagnate Few models of diverse leadership exist for next generation boys and girls to model and aspire to
