Our Story

Aequum is the outcome of people earnestly committed to realizing accessibility and inclusion in their communities, for over 20-years.  Aequum knows the importance of and builds on the cornerstone of collaboration.  Stakeholders made up of clients, their clients, people with disabilities, and professionals are essential to making an accessible and inclusive world work.

Aequum Global Access was founded and is driven forward through its core leadership:

Pina D’Intino, M.Des., PMP, CPACC

Pina is the heartbeat of Aequum Global Access. With lived experience, she’s an internationally recognized expert who actively promotes accessibility and inclusion from both an executive and a grassroots perspective.

Pina has more than 29-years of experience in a large global financial institution, while for the last 20-years has pioneered and founded a cross-institutional hub for accessibility and inclusion.

Pina bridges the dynamics of organization, employee, and customer viewpoints, to establish a best-practices environment. With a master’s degree in design and Inclusive Design, Pina values the importance of ensuring that the voices of those under-served is amplified and considered – especially when conceptualizing, designing and delivering products and services intended to meet the broadest community –ensuring no one is left behind. 

Pina’s experience working with all levels of management – including those at the Executive and Leadership levels – and developing strategic plans and visions – has helped companies better understand their current accessibility and inclusion state.  This allows the organization to ensure that changes result in effective and measurable cultural and organizational change. 

In 2013, Pina received the QE2 Diamond Jubilee medal by Canada’s Lt. Governor the Honourable David Onley, for her work in accessibility in employment and in the fall of 2022 was appointed Senior Adviser on the Disability-Inclusion Business Council initiative supporting the Social Employment Branch (SEP) and Minister Carla Qualtrough.
