Last last year, a coalition of businesses launched OneTen, which says it will train, hire, and promote one million Black Americans over the next 10 years. (Founders of OneTen include former American Express CEO Ken Chenault, Merck CEO Ken Frazier, and IBM executive chair Ginni Rometty.) Ryan is cofounder of CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion, a leadership group whose members sign a pledge to address unconscious bias and to make workplace diversity a corporate strategic imperative. Ryan says PwC has begun looking closely at processes that may have excluded people of color.
