Annette Reavis, Chief People Officer at Envoy

She has broken down and removed barriers for groups that aren’t well-represented, ensuring everyone is included in discussions about running for office again. She is in charge of Envoy’s social impact strategy, which helps the company make essential changes.

Chess Avant-Garde, Head of Global Responsibility at LiveRamp
Many LiveRamp employees are inspired to work towards diversity and inclusion by seeing their leader – Chess Avant deliver programming and promote belonging and inclusion daily. Since joining LiveRamp, Chess has moved from Global DIB Program Manager to Social Impact Lead and afterwards to Head of Global Responsibility.
LiveRamp.org is being built by Chess as part of the company’s “data for good” project. LiveRamp.org helps nonprofits and businesses owned by minorities move forward with their social missions by using businesses’ data to connect with customers. In just one year, his company donated twice as much money to charity as it did the year before.
Chess has also worked from the inside to make sure that women and underrepresented minorities get paid the same as ordinary male workers. He did this by eliminating bias in the company’s promotion and bonus system and making the organisation’s first commitments.

Dana Ross, Grindr’s Software Engineer

She is a trusted mentor and wise leader because she stays true to her values. Dana is known for helping people get ahead, making way for people to be included, and breaking down barriers for people from underrepresented communities. She saw that the boot camp program was a way for queer coders to get jobs, and she found a group of strong people who shared her values. It shows that her approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion is based on good intentions and giving people power.
Desiree Morton, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Magoosh
Thanks to Desiree, Visibli has dramatically changed how it thinks about Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. While the company needed to downsize last year, one of her focuses was standing up for the employees who didn’t have much power. The decline began with a voluntary resignation open to all employees, but Desiree knew how employees from underrepresented groups would react to the communication and information.
She helped the company change its communication tactics by considering this. The company could keep its variety thanks to her help and advice. The following year, more people from underrepresented management groups joined the company. Desiree co-founded Magoosh and Visibli, a service that provides coaching and executive-level resources to help underrepresented employees.
