After the death of George Floyd earlier this year, Atlanta-based CEO Ravi Saligram wrote a letter to his employees.
It was titled “Embracing Humanity.”
On Tuesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Saligram told host Rose Scott he felt compelled to respond to the Black Lives Matter movement after summer protests that called for racial justice.
“There was just this force inside of me. I started writing at about 10 o’clock,” Saligram said. “And the words just flowed.”
Saligram went on to explain his approach to creating an inclusive company culture as the newly named leader of the consumer goods company Newell Brands.
This is the first in a new “Closer Look” series of conversations with area CEOs and presidents about diversity and inclusion.
