Every company, every boardroom in which I sit, has a plan, and they have objectives, goals, and a process. And to make it work, the pressure and incentive have to come from the top.

A lot of companies make diversity a part of the performance goals against which an executive gets paid. Just as you have to make a certain sales number, you have to make a diversity number to get your bonus.

My mother was the president of the PTA at every school I attended.

But there will come a time and a place to give back, and each individual will recognize that time and place.

This was my dream. It was so cool to me to work here - to create my own company.

I'm here because I stand on many, many shoulders, and that's true of every black person I know who has achieved.
