Diversity MBA Media Celebrates Most Diverse List of Top 100 Under 50 Leaders

Elevation of Leaders of Color Continues, yet Speed of Advancement Requires More Attention!

Chicago – August 8, 2023 – Diversity MBA Media unveils its annual list of the Top 100 Under 50 executive and emerging leaders in corporate America who are setting remarkable standards and significantly influencing their respective industries. These chosen leaders, hailing from a wide array of companies with both national and international footprints, continue the proud tradition of the Diversity MBA’s 17-year history of honoring 100 ascendant leaders from a substantial pool of nominees. This honor stands unique due to its criteria, which include holding an advanced degree or certification, being recognized only once, and being 50 years or younger.

The 2023 class of honorees distinctively represents an increasing number of leaders in fields traditionally underrepresented by women, underscoring a positive shift towards promoting women of color to influential roles within workplaces. Each member of this class showcases the value of higher education, boasting an array of advanced degrees, including CPA, MBA, PhD, and JDs, and demonstrating a commitment to serving others. With an average age of 40, this year’s class also surpasses previous ones in terms of diversity and youthfulness.

“Our 17th class of Top 100 Under 50 executive and emerging leaders consistently showcase themselves as some of the most insightful and respected leaders in corporate America and expansive organizations. Today’s leaders are more deliberate and focused on their actions than ever before,” stated Pamela McElvane, CEO of P & L Holding Co., which encompasses the Diversity MBA Media Group.

“These trailblazers are clear on the impact they aim to create and the steps they need to take to achieve it. They have displayed unwavering commitment to their communities and an unflinching desire to catalyze change in their areas of influence. They inspire others to reach their highest potential, while persistently seeking innovative ways to stay relevant. These are our present and future leaders,” added McElvane.

Further, McElvane emphasized that this year’s class of honorees encapsulates the current status of diversity and inclusion progress within the workplace. It illustrates the reality that while leaders of color are not diminishing, their ascent to C-suite and CEO-level positions requires faster momentum.
