In recognition of Black History Month, an annual celebration of the history, accomplishments, and contributions of Black individuals who have made an enduring impact on our society, ISS-Corporate examined trends in the representation of Black directors and CEOs across U.S. indices. Here are some notable findings: 🚀  The prevalence of Black/African American directors has surged since 2019 across all U.S. indices, notably doubling for lower market cap companies since 2019. 📊  Growth in representation of Black directors has outpaced that of Black CEOs: over the five-year period spanning 2019 through 2023, the number of Black CEOs in the Russell 3000 grew by less than 1.3 percent. 💼  In 2023, Utilities led all industries in terms of Black representation for both board seats and CEO positions.

#representationmatters 🖤🖤🖤 For some, at first glance, this is just a heartwarming #blackhistorymonth post from a big company attempting to do the right thing this month. When you dig deeper and listen to the stories from these #marketing and #salesleaders you realize its more than that. When you listen to the experiences of our #customers, the #surgeons, you understand the positive impact #representation has on the 🌎 around us, #business, #innovation and #employeeengagement. Intuitive could not produce this #content without a true #teameffort but I want to highlight the Black employees directly or indirectly involved as my next #blackhistorymonth post: Marissa Smith (Tirado) - Now a Sr. Product Manager, she is a relentless worker and #strategicthinker that impacts many areas of our business. ✨ Kevin Crawford - Kevin is a #successstory working his way from a #salesassociate to #managementdevelopment program to now #salesleader. 💪🏽 Candace Davis - This Sr. #bariatric #marketing #manager made a concerted effort to develop more black & brown KOLs. Two of them are highlighted here including Monique Hassan, MD, FACS, FASMBS, DABOM & Dr. Folahan Ayoola. Jocelyne Fletcher & Kamilah Brewton - these two #women are drivers of our #urology business and Single Port platform adoption. They also hosted and moderated the global event where this video was premiered. Tiara E. Wright, MBA, CBA & her team are unsung heroes at the org. Without them, we cannot provide #patients access to the best technology in the world. #weareintuitive #blackexcellence #blackatintuitive #keepmovingforward #seatatthetable #makeadifference #impactmatters #meddevice #roboticsurgery

Happy Black History Month to all the Black business owners working hard to be successful! As we honor Black History Month, it's vital to acknowledge that celebrating Black excellence and supporting Black-owned businesses is our year-round commitment. One of the most impactful ways we Bold Growth Agency uplift these businesses is by helping them connect with government and corporate contract opportunities. This support not only empowers entrepreneurs but also strengthens our communities and economy as a whole. The Importance of Accessing Opportunities Black-owned businesses often face unique challenges, including limited access to contracts and resources that can help them grow. By actively working to connect these businesses with government and corporate opportunities, we help bridge the gap and foster a more equitable business landscape. Access to contracts not only provides financial stability but also enhances the visibility and credibility of these businesses within their industries. Bold Growth Agency Year-Round Commitment Supporting Black businesses through contract opportunities is not just a one month initiative; it’s an ongoing effort that requires dedication and collaboration throughout the year. As we celebrate Black History Month, let us also commit to uplifting Black businesses every day. #blackbusiness #blackbusinessmonth #blackwomeninbusiness #blackowned
