Ripa Rashid

February 2024 - Bridge Partners is pleased to announce the appointment of Ripa Rashid as Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer of Consumer Reports.

Consumer Reports was founded in 1936 at a time when consumers had very few options to gauge the value, quality, or authenticity of goods and services. It was an era of unfettered advertising claims, rapid technological progress, and patchwork regulations—so CR was created to equip people with the credible, trustworthy information they needed to make informed choices. Consumer Reports works to create a fair and just marketplace for all. As a mission-driven, independent, nonprofit member organization, CR empowers and informs consumers, incentivizes corporations to act responsibly, and helps policymakers prioritize the rights and interests of consumers in order to shape a truly consumer-driven marketplace.

Ripa Rashid joins Consumer Reports from TD Cowen. As Chief Diversity Officer of Consumer Reports, Ms. Rashid will partner with senior leaders to shape, advance, and lead the organization's overarching DEI vision and strategy. She will serve as a leader, advisor, advocate, catalyst for change, and institutional resource focused on embedding accountability for diversity, equity and inclusion into all programs and activities across the organization. 

Ms. Rashid holds a Bachelor of Arts in Astrophysics from Harvard University, a Master of Arts in Ahtropology from New York University, and a Master of Business Administration from INSEAD.
