Mark GrimesFounder, Give > Take

Collaborating with Rhodes and his team was a gift! His expertise and wisdom are impressive, and I truly felt encouraged by all the possibilities. My company now has a clear pathway to build more safety, trust, and belonging at work as we advance our DEI goals. Our work together has greatly reduced my anxiety about the future of work.

Autumn WyldergPRIDE Chair, Genentech

We successfully launched our supplier diversity program, after working with Rhodes and his team. Our program met two core goals we had going into the project: 1) grow more wealth in our community, and 2) increase the quality of our vendor pool. Rhodes delivered these results and then some!

Kitty MillerChief Administrative Officer, Home Forward

Rhodes and his team know how to easily engage with leaders from many different backgrounds. They have the rare ability to reach across the aisle, engage in respectful dialogue, and collaborate with executive leadership teams with diverging opinions to advance their DEI commitments. The firm brings humor, compassion, and expertise — a winning combination — to meet people where they are, while forging a shared pathway forward to build a belonging culture at work.

Kelli HoustonChief Diversity Officer, Community Health Plan of Washington

We needed a tech solution to manage our gender inclusion commitments, particularly monitoring our quarterly goals, and found our solution working closely with Rhodes Perry Consulting. Now we have a much better sense of how we are advancing our DEI goals by sharing tangible results with our stakeholders.

Graceful leadership comes from a place of confidence and humility. Combining those qualities with passion and a deep understanding of the needs of LGBTQ+ young people navigating the challenges of poverty and you have Rhodes. I've learned so much from watching Rhodes help my Agency improve our services for LGBTQ+ communities.

Gladys Carrión, Esq.Former Commissioner, NYC Administration for Children's Services

Rhodes Perry has worked with us from the beginning of developing the getREAL Initiative. Thanks to his leadership, we have a robust network of child welfare thought leaders working together to improve social safety net services for LGBTQ+ young people involved in child welfare systems, ultimately leading more children and youth thriving into healthy and happy adults.

Bill BettencourtSenior Associate, Center for the Study of Social Policy

As one of the nation's smartest experts on transgender policy matters, Rhodes offers an important perspective to ensure that the needs and concerns of transgender and nonbinary people are appropriately represented. His consultancy helps implement life-saving policies by connecting key stakeholders with concrete practices to improve the well-being of transgender and nonbinary people.

Mara KeislingFounding Executive Director, National Center for Transgender Equality

Strategic, substantive and creative are three words that immediately come to mind when I think of Rhodes' leadership style. The support, guidance and collaboration his firm offered my team has and remains an invaluable asset as we continue to improve social services for LGBTQ+ young people living in Los Angeles County. For those organizations struggling to implement inclusive DEI policies designed to transform organizational culture, definitely consider working with Rhodes Perry Consulting.
