I find it more plausible that a diverse workforce and market success are both effects of a good company culture, good hiring practices etc. than suggesting that diversity somehow causes success. Not least because seeing diversity as a causal factor seems to imply that a person's skillset is somehow linked to their gender/race (or whichever diversity criteria is in play), and hence that a diverse workforce leads to a broader skillset.
