The Top 50 Minority Executives Making Moves will be an annual list by the Minority Business Review, highlighting executives of color who are excelling in their fields and are making a valuable impact.

Combing through profiles of several minority executives, it was comforting to know the United States is not lacking in talent, however, the road to equitable representation has a long way to go. The selection team was tasked with highlighting executives of color across the spectrum of industry, age, and background.

Far too often when we think of leaders or executives to highlight, the default is to seek leaders popular across mainstream media. This list of Top 50 Minority Executives Making Moves went deeper. You will find names you may have never heard before, and some names you know but more importantly you will find leaders who are making a mark in their industry, community, and across the United States. These leaders deserve our recognition and support. If you don’t recognize a name, spend a little bit of time learning more about the incredible work they’re doing.
