Sujata Gosalia
EVP, Chief Strategy Officer
Cox Communications
THE WHY? Already a sponsor of
several ERGs at Cox, Gosalia responded
to pandemic-fueled anti-Asian
backlash by growing more
vocal about her own background as
a way to support fellow employees
facing discrimination. As the leader of
Cox's strategy to create new growth
products to meet customers' future
needs requires constant innovation,
she and her team recently launched
Cox Edge and Cox Prosight, which
offer edge computing and smart
hospital solutions, and are pushing
ahead with Cox2M's IOT and Smart
City solutions.
SHE SAYS... " I am incredibly proud
of Cox's efforts to bridge the digital
divide. More than half a million customers
are connected due to these
programs. "
Karen Gray
EVP, CHRO &
Chief Diversity Officer
A+E Networks
THE WHY? Gray's mission is to make
A+E Networks the industry model for
forward-thinking DEI initiatives that
truly make a difference on a global
scale. Gray launched a comprehensive
DEI website, the A+E Diversity
Report, and the company's first Diversity
Advisory Council which advises
executives on everything from vendor
selection to global connectedness.
SHE SAYS... " I have been very excited
to see people start to talk about
DEI and live DEI as part of the natural
fabric of the business, rather than
looking at it as a thing that they know
is important but aren't quite sure what
to do with. "
