Sarah Liu, Founder and Managing DirectorTDC Global enables their partners - the likes of Adobe, Coca Cola and Cisco - to succeed by embedding DEI. Known for its global reach with local resonance, TDC has deep expertise in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
What factors make TDC different and successful?
Sarah Liu, the Founder and Managing Director of TDC, attributes the company’s success to its innovative mindset and agility. “Our startup-like approach allows us to deliver unique and effective solutions tailored to our client’s needs,” says Liu.
At the heart of TDC’s approach to diversity, equity and inclusion is intersectionality and the recognition that no two individuals are the same. The company recognises the profound impact of gender, generational, and cultural diversity on the workforce and proactively addresses this intersectionality through the programs and strategies that they develop.
Their approach marks a shift from traditional DEI efforts by addressing the system and building inclusive cultures to fit the needs of diverse groups rather than focusing on trying to change the individuals from underrepresented groups to drive impactful and sustainable change.
Why Choose TDC?
The company’s services encompass three crucial areas: attracting, retaining, and advancing diverse talent. In order to help organisations attract the best talent, TDC provides customised employer branding campaigns, inclusive hiring audits, and other strategies to appeal to a wide range of diverse candidates. For talent retention, TDC supports building inclusive cultures through the Cultivating Allyship or Inclusive Leadership programs, fostering a supportive work environment.
Additionally, their Emerging Leaders Program and Sponsorship program accelerate the advancement of underrepresented talent into leadership roles, cultivating a diverse pool of skilled and capable leaders.
Another notable feature is its partnerships with other organisations to create opportunities for women and diverse talent. TDC provides public eLearning programs, such as SheReturns, SheDares, ShePivots, and Better TogetHER. These programs offer training, capability-building, and connecting participants with TDC’s clients, leading to a diverse talent pool beneficial for all parties involved. SheDares, a flagship program that helps women transition into tech, created in partnership with Amazon Web Services and supported by 61 other collaborators, has over 27,000 women enrolled around the world.
These programs allow individuals to learn at their own pace, without financial constraints—a source of immense pride for TDC. The company finds fulfillment in helping individuals secure employment and ascend to leadership positions, fueled by their overarching mission of accelerating societal progress towards equity.

TDC proceeds to the execution phase after establishing alignment and implementing agreed-upon strategies. A vital component of this methodology is measuring the impact of the interventions. By establishing clear metrics and tracking progress, TDC assures clients of tangible and meaningful results.
A prime example of TDC’s effective approach is its partnership with Adobe to increase the advancement of women at the organisation, retain high-potential talent, and work more collaboratively with APAC offices. In this regard, TDC’s Emerging Leaders Program offered a comprehensive training experience designed to empower and uplift female talent. Over 18 months, they have equipped over 120 current and future emerging female leaders across Adobe APAC. This yielded impressive results, such as 88% retention rate of the program participants and over 80% of managers reporting noticeable improvements in participants’ confidence & leadership capability.
Due to its impressive client portfolio and global influence, TDC has a unique ability to engage diverse industries and individuals, guiding clients in shaping their corporate culture to adapt to the needs of the evolving world.
