Dr Shereen Daniels is one of the UK’s leading experts on human resources and addressing systemic racism,
particularly as it impacts Black colleagues, within complex organisations and institutions. As Managing
Director of HR rewired, she leads an advisory firm that works with well-known brands and institutions,
including Tesco and the London Metropolitan Police, to embed anti-racism into strategy, governance, and
workforce transformation approaches.
Her impact extends across the UK, the US, South Africa, India,
Brazil, Namibia, Botswana, and Australia. She supports leadership teams in confronting structural inequity
and driving systemic change from the inside out.
Dr Daniels holds a Doctor of Professional Studies by Public Works (DProf), through which she critically examined how systemic racism continues to be sustained within workplace structures, despite the surge of public commitments to change post the 2020 murder of George Floyd. Her research explores how socio-political backlash often reframes systemic racism as mere “bias,” and ignores the entrenched systemic and institutionalised structures and behaviours that consistently marginalise Black colleagues. By centring colleagues who are most harmed by racism, bias, and discrimination, her work offers a powerful and necessary counterpoint to performative DEI efforts.
She is the bestselling author of The Anti-Racist Organization: Dismantling Systemic Racism in the Workplace (2022), which has sold over 10,000 copies globally. An in-demand speaker and respected public thinker, Dr Daniels’ insights have been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, Vogue Business, BBC Worklife and The Drum. Her firm HR rewired has been twice recognised as HR Consultancy of the Year (2023 and 2024), and she has received multiple honours including HR Magazine’s Most Influential Thinker (2021), induction into the HR Hall of Fame (2022), and three LinkedIn Top Voice awards.
As a supporter of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – 17 Goals to transform our world, she is focused on driving sustainable humanised economic growth through championing the following goals:
● SD5 - Gender Inequality
● SDG8 - Decent Work & Economic Growth
● SDG10 - Reduced Inequalities; and
● SDG16 - Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions
