As President and CEO of SCE Lifeworks, Oly has found meaning and purpose in helping others and educating communities on the abilities of all.

I sat down with Oly Backstrom, to talk about how businesses thrive when they hire inclusively, social evolution over the last two and a half decades, and his career building up and supporting people with developmental disabilities.
