Abu Bundu-Kamara is the UK Diversity Manager at Pearson Plc. After leaving South Bank University with a degree in Technology Management and a Postgraduate Diploma in Business and Finance, Abu began his career with Pearson Plc in 2002 when he joined the Penguin Group, where he took on the role of Diversity Manager. Prior to joining Penguin he worked for Ryman’s the stationer, Enron, and The Canary Wharf Management Group.

During his time as Penguin’s Diversity Manager, Abu introduced the ‘Getting into Publishing’ event which is now an annual event, designed primarily as a lunch and learn session for undergraduates, postgraduates and recent graduates particularly from ethnic minority groups wishing to find out about the various careers options within the publishing industry, and Penguin specifically. He also organised Penguin's first ever diversity week in July 2006, highlighting some of the complex issues surrounding diversity.

In 2006, he took over the role of UK Diversity Manager for Pearson in the UK. Among the biggest challenges has been creating and managing diversity initiatives for a company with so many diverse brands. Pearson has a number of diversity initiatives one of which being an internship scheme for ethnic minority graduates, which has recently focused on final year students, to maximise the company’s potential of retaining them as permanent hires.

Pearson is also a member of Stonewall, the gay rights advocacy group, and collaborates strongly with other organisations such as Opportunity Now, the Arts Council England, and Race for Opportunity, to bring more diversity into publishing in the UK.
