“Savoy is proud to present the 2018 Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America. In this issue, we assembled an elite representation of African-American men and women who have been recognized for their executive and business leadership in national and global-leading corporations,” said L.P. Green, II, Publisher of Savoy magazine. “These innovative trailblazers have led efforts to foster growth for some of the country’s highest-performing companies throughout and beyond the US market.”
Savoy’s Spring issue features a double cover series featuring Kenneth C. Frazier, CEO of Merck & Co., with an alternate cover featuring Chadwick Boseman, star of the Hollywood blockbuster Black Panther by Marvel Studios.
Selection of the “Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America” begins by examining the landscape of spheres of influence impacting Savoy’s readership including: corporate sector influence, scholastic achievement, career growth, community outreach and recognition. The information received from over 500 prospective candidates in diverse fields was pre-screened by the selection committee.
The selection committee includes the Savoy editorial board and community leaders with representatives from the academic and business arenas. The committee reviewed information on executives in human resources, information, real estate, finance, investment banking, diversity, foundations, procurement, business development, marketing, sales, health care, manufacturing and legal. After reviewing all of the profiles, the field of candidates was narrowed to the 2018 “Most Influential Blacks in Corporate America” listing based upon their exemplary record of accomplishments and influence while working to better their community and inspire others.
