Editor’s conversations: Ursula Burns
The first black American woman to run a Fortune 500 company talks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, our editor-in-chief, about how to increase diversity in the boardroom
According to Ursula Burns, "Women have been waiting long enough. People of colour have been waiting long enough and there is no reason in the world why they have to wait one day longer.” Ms Burns, who ran Xerox, now leads the Board Diversity Action Alliance, which advocates for racially diverse boardrooms. She believes quotas should be central to this effort.
