Caren Ulrich Stacy, CEO of Diversity Lab, started the San Francisco-based company in 2013 when she realized that “law firm leaders wanted to do things better to boost inclusion and diversity, but they didn’t seem to know how,” she said recently. 

For more than two decades before starting the company that analyzes law firm business practices and fosters data-based experimentation to make the profession more equitable, Stacy had served as head of talent for Arnold & Porter and Cooley.
