This year’s Leading Women Vanguard Award recipient is Jerri DeVard, a veteran marketer who established the Black Executive CMO Alliance to champion equitable opportunities for all Black marketing executives in the industry today. In DeVard’s words, “Anyone who says they haven’t made mistakes or hasn’t had any roadblocks isn’t telling you the truth. It’s not what happens to you, it’s what you do about it.”
Among the topics are:
• How policies for life events such as menopause and responsibilities like caregiving can ensure talent doesn’t suffer from career gaps
• What DE&I initiatives are moving beyond rhetoric into meaningful action
• Why a career path in the industry isn’t always linear
• How breaking taboos has impacted the Libresse brand
