This episode of Career on Purpose shines a light on a dimension of diversity that most people can’t see, hear, or, in many cases, even imagine – neurodiversity.
Our guest for this episode is Michael Golub, Director of AI Ethics and Compliance at Merck. Michael also co-leads the Dyslexic Thinkers Community, a sub-community of the Merck’s capABILITY Network – the employee resource group committed to creating a safe and empathetic space for Merck colleagues with disabilities and their allies.
The episode begins with Michael describing his role at Merck and how he works with marketers, data scientists and other professionals to ensure that AI systems are compliant with Merck’s internal policies. He then talks about what led him to company. As one of the leaders of the Dyslexic Thinkers Community, Michael talks about his personal experience with dyslexia and how it presents itself for him. He also describes how he found courage to tell his manager at Merck about his condition and how the company was more supportive than he could’ve imagined. Later, Michael talks about what makes Merck different from other employers and why others should consider joining the company.
