Lotus Smits works at the intersection of culture, belonging, wellbeing, and inclusive leadership, helping organisations build workplaces where people feel seen, supported, and able to thrive. Based in Barcelona, she is the founder of The INK - DEI Agency, where she partners with global companies to design more human-centred employee experiences grounded in fairness, accessibility, and representation.
Over the past decade, Lotus has led global culture and inclusion initiatives across organisations including Glovo, Booking.com, and Vodafone, shaping strategies around belonging, leadership, wellbeing, employee communities, and inclusive workplace practices at scale.
A speaker, facilitator, and advocate for inclusive leadership, Lotus is particularly passionate about the everyday behaviours that shape workplace culture. Her work encourages leaders and teams to move beyond performative inclusion and instead create environments where curiosity, consistency, and human connection become part of how people work together every day.
