Content: Leaders like the ones I have chosen below, each of whom has a strong record of promoting diversity, both in the past and the present moment. Some have personally enacted policies that support people of color; others are upholding a legacy that began decades ago. Here are 10 CEOs and companies who have been championing diversity and inclusion for years — and who are still standing up for Black lives now. 1. Jide Zeitlin, Tapestry (Coach, Kate Spade)
As one of only four Black CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, it is no surprise that Jide Zeitlin is committed to diversity. Tapestry’s board is 40% women and 45% non-white — and, earlier this year, Zeitlin launched an inclusivity training program. He told Yahoo! it helps Tapestry’s employees understand that their colleagues have different perspectives, which he called “a real strength.” Following George Floyd’s death, Zeitlin posted an emotional letter on LinkedIn, in which he said his organization was working on a plan that would convene social justice, legal, and corporate entities to address systemic inequality across sectors such as health, economic opportunity, and public safety.
