Biography

Daniele Fiandaca is founder of Token Man Consulting, an inclusion and diversity consultancy which specialises in engaging men with the I&D strategy and inspiring them to become change-makers, creating workplaces that are truly inclusive and diverse. It does this through consultancy, events, research, training and thought leadership. He is also co-founder of Masculinity in the Workplace, one of the few I&D events that has majority male attendance and is accompanied by an annual survey to measure how masculine workplaces continue to be in the UK. In 2024, Daniele was featured as one of the UK’s inspirational D&I leaders.

Previously he was co-founder of Utopia, an award winning culture change business that creates more inclusive, more entrepreneurial and healthier cultures for clients. Utopia’s top-to-bottom, boardroom to factory floor approach had clinched household names including Alexander McQueen, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Google, KP Snacks, Nestlé, Pepsico, Rolls Royce, Spotify, Unilever and Universal Music.

He was named one of Management Today’s Top 30 Male Agents of Change, and most recently, one of the Top 50 Trailblazers in Gender Equality in the UK. He has also co-authored a number of best selling books including Creative Superpowers: Equip Yourself for the Age of Creativity.

Prior to his career as an inclusion and diversity consultant, he worked in advertising where he was head of innovation and managing partner at Cheil Worldwide, CEO at Profero, co-founder of Creative Social and has won numerous awards including a Gold Cannes Lions.

"Daniele’s talk was insightful, impactful and moving and did exactly what we need - it got men talking about inclusion and diversity and recognising their own role in creating change. Thanks for a wonderful talk.”

“Daniele’s talk had a great impact on our attendees who felt he was able to tell a genuine story of a life realization where the working world is to be shared equally. He was able to talk about his vulnerabilities in a way no one had experienced before and opened the door for other men to show their true side can be very rewarding. We could have explored so many subjects with Daniele through his various work and experience across diversity & inclusion and we would love to work with him again.”

“We recently had Daniele speak at our International Men’s Day virtual event. Not only was he well received by the audience, he was easy to work with, professional and spent extra time preparing and interacting with our panellists. It is evident he truly cares about the message he delivers and has a great passion for what he does. He was a key component to the success of our event.”

“Daniele enabled our senior leaders to be vulnerable and to speak candidly. One quote from PepsiCo Europe’s Leader team: “This is the most important experience I’ve been through at PepsiCo”. This is testament to Daniele.”

The Benefits of Men Leaning into Inclusion and Diversity
Esther Perel, the relationship expert and psychologist recently said “We’ve spent the past 50 years discussing what it means to be a woman. Women have examined their relationships, their identity, their sense of agency, at home and at work. And now, maybe for the first time, we’re at a moment...

Esther Perel, the relationship expert and psychologist recently said “We’ve spent the past 50 years discussing what it means to be a woman. Women have examined their relationships, their identity, their sense of agency, at home and at work. And now, maybe for the first time, we’re at a moment where men could have the same opportunity to redefine themselves—but I worry that we aren’t giving men, or women, the resources they need to get there.”
Daniele will use his own journey from CEO of an ad agency to becoming an inclusion and development consultant and founder of Token Man Consulting to explore the importance of men leaning into inclusion and diversity and why this has benefits for everyone. He will provide an insight of what he has learnt in relation to exclusion, allyship and becoming an agent of change and will also touch on the damage the current system has on men, women and non-binary people alike. He will share real life examples of benefits men have found from leaning in and how we can all benefit from becoming more culturally intelligent, empathetic and vulnerable. Expect to come away with a better understanding of the positive personal benefits of leaning into inclusion and diversity as well as actions you can take to become a better ally and agent of change.
