SC Johnson Appoints Director of Global Inclusion

SC Johnson, parent company of SC Johnson Professional, has appointed Kingsley Gobourne director of global diversity and inclusion.

Gobourne joins SC Johnson from the Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin where he served as chief equity and engagement officer. Prior to that, he worked as senior consultant of diversity, equity, and inclusion for UnityPoint Health.

“In healthcare, you had a direct relationship with the consumer. The focus was equitable access for them to use services and products,” Gobourne said in an interview with the Racine County Eye. “I feel the work that I’m doing now is really more internally based on those teams on those units.”

“In such a large organization, as well as having regional offices across the world, a lot of what I’m doing is learning what those cultures are like, what’s our commitment to our employees in those spaces? And how do we align so we can make the experience at SC Johnson as similar as possible across that broad network,” Gobourne continued. “That work will be supporting work that’s been done with leadership, leadership development, talent management, talent acquisition, working with my own team on a lot of the metrics and surveys, as well as our employee resource groups, and supporting our business units and leaders across that footprint.”
