David is a leader at the largest professional services firm in the world. He also happens to be black.
While his skin color doesn’t define him, he had to overcome a number of obstacles to get to where he is now.
Here are a few mind-blowing statistics…
- Today, 1% of Fortune 500 CEOs are black
- 7% of managers are black; better than CEOs, but still a long way to go
- And when David became a CPA in the 90s, the percentage of black CPAs was less than 1%...crazy
It's pretty clear that there was a lot in the way for David to reach the mountaintop.
And now that he's there, he is singing his song and giving back.
Co-charing Deloitte’s Black Action Council, mentoring young black professionals, and educating all of us on how we can help talented black professionals who are trying to carve out a meaningful career.
As you listen to our conversation, think deeply about three questions.
- What are you doing to really get to know black professionals you work with?
- What blind spots do you have in understanding the journey of your black colleagues?
- How are you defining what success looks like for the people you manage?
