ANI Group is a pioneering platform that unites D&I professionals with a shared mission: to create a world where everyone can thrive. Its foundation is built on real, lived experiences, ensuring that solutions are grounded in authenticity and practical understanding.

Leighton’s personal battles have given him a unique perspective on the barriers people with disabilities face. His vision extends beyond physical spaces to encompass societal attitudes, workplaces, and the digital world, advocating for inclusivity at every level.

Through the work of ANI Group, Leighton and his team are driving change by turning their challenges into a catalyst for progress. Their efforts challenge society to rethink D&I and inspire us all to embrace a more inclusive world.

Leighton’s leadership proves that when we speak from authentic experience, we can create lasting change, paving the way for a truly accessible future for all.

“I wanted to open doors for all of society by repurposing immersive technology as a tool for accessibility. By using digital experiences in a different way, we can remove uncertainty, build confidence and ensure that everyone has the opportunity to explore, engage and belong, long before they ever arrive.”
