From entry-level to C-suite, meet FedEx’s first African-American woman CEO:
at large corporations, and hold just 0.8% of Fortune 500 CEO positions. The study also found an overall lack of mentorship and access to senior leaders.
Unfortunately, black women tend to receive the least support of all women from their manager, with just 35% reporting that their managers create opportunities for them to showcase their work, promote their contributions to others, or socialize with them outside of work, according to McKinsey and LeanIn's Women in the Workplace report. In her journey to the c-suite, Hood prioritized the importance of seeking mentorship and having a board of directors.
"From the time I accepted the position, to realizing the magnitude of the role itself, it has been exciting. Not only to support the business objectives but being the first and setting an example. I have looked forward to leading a company in my career — it was definitely one of the milestones I hoped to achieve. More importantly, being an African American woman raising two African American women, it is very inspirational for my daughters.
As Hood began strategizing her first-year plan, she developed milestones that started within her first 90 days, intending to gain useful insight from employees, customers, and independent contractors driving FedEx Custom Critical, which morphed into"Ramona Roundtables." However, Hood didn't anticipate incorporating COVID-19 plans into her first 90 days as CEO of FedEx Custom Critical.
