Former Jamba Juice CEO on Transformational Leadership in A Race-Conscious World

The way we do business now is not the way we did business two decades ago. The focus has shifted – and with 80 percent of workers asking for more inclusive companies, it’s time for corporate America to listen. More than three-quarters of people believe that diversity and inclusion offers them a competitive advantage, so what do leaders need to think of to create more inclusive environments?

White is the former Chair, President & CEO of Jamba Juice, and author of “Anti-Racist Leadership: How to Transform Culture in a Race-Conscious World.” James is a transformational leader with more than three decades as a CEO and operating executive. He has overseen the evolution and growth of the world’s most iconic brands in the consumer products, retail, and restaurant industries.
