OneTen

We often talk about the gender gap, which remains unacceptably wide and critical to address. But there is another gap that gets less airtime, which is the opportunity gap for Black talent. It’s a problem that coalition organisation OneTen is making its audacious mission to solve. Co-founded by Kenneth Frazier and Kenneth Chenault, former CEOs of American Express and Merck respectively and among the few Black leaders to have run Fortune 500 companies, OneTen aims to hire, promote and advance one million Black Americans who do not have a four-year degree into family-sustaining careers over the next 10 years.
