RALEIGH – Donald Thompson, co-founder of The Diversity Movement, will now dedicate most of his time to leading the organization as its full-time CEO, and announced he will step down from his role of CEO from Walk West. He will remain the board chair.
The move comes following the meteoric growth of The Diversity Movement, founded in late 2019, which now has a staff of 17 full-time employees.
“In under two years, we have been able to move from concept to commercial business during a pandemic and impact over 110,000 people with the work we’re doing,” said Thompson, who is also a contributor to WRAL TechWire, and authors a weekly column for the publication. “Whenever you’re talking about business, it boils down to how many people are impacted in a positive way by what you do. Our growth has been a testament to people’s appetite for action-oriented DEI training and tools.”
