#153 — Pieter Bas van Litsenburg — MEININGER Hotels, Amsterdam

Welcome to MEININGER Hotels in Amsterdam! Pieter Bas Litsenburg, van has been with the hybrid hotel chain for 13 years and shares deep insights into the topic of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI). How has MEININGER’s journey toward greater diversity and inclusion evolved, and what is Pieter most proud of so far? With nearly 40 locations across Europe, MEININGER Hotels is a company where DEI has grown from a grassroots initiative into a topic of increasing relevance. We talk about the biggest challenges along the way, how to deal with skepticism (because you don’t have to agree with everything), and why meaningful change often begins with small steps—just like the ones Pieter took with a dedicated group of colleagues.
