Sydney Coleman

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Programs and Product Marketing Manager, Google

San Francisco

Sydney works on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at Google in San Francisco. She also serves as the Vice President on the Board of the US National Committee for UN Women San Francisco. She began her diversity, equity, and inclusion advocacy when she studied social identity, inequality, and intergroup relations at Occidental College. She designed and conducted research on the relationship between internalized racism and colorism with undergraduate Women of Color. Sydney’s passion for social justice activism led to creating and driving more diverse and inclusive programming and policies in tech startups (both at Yelp and Nextdoor). She took on leadership roles in both corporate Employee Resource Groups and Diversity Steering Committees. Sydney is incredibly passionate about making the workplace, and the tech industry in particular, more accessible, inclusive, and equitable for underrepresented populations.
