"As I’m watching the unfolding scenes of unrest and violence in the US, my heart breaks," he said. "I have a responsibility to say Black Lives Matter. I believe we all do." Didier Elzinga, co-founder of billion-dollar-valued employee software platform Culture Amp, said the community could no longer be silent on racism. "Our collective failure to see, speak, and act as we should in the face of pervasive structural racism across a shamefully long history is all of our responsibility to fix," he said.

"I could not be a prouder Australian for the opportunities it has provided,” he said. "However, I certainly think we are at risk of becoming complacent, of living off the past glory.""Australia has been built on the foundations of immigration, multiculturalism and peaceful coexistence," he said. "But I do fear the world is getting more divisive. As an immigrant myself, I feel we need to make some changes to facilitate that opportunity for future generations.
