Executive Leadership Initiative

Led by RBC members Greg Twardowski and Michael Kennedy, CEO of KAI Enterprises, this initiative pairs RBC members with CEOs of Black and Brown-owned businesses to provide high-level coaching and support over the course of a year. Participants have access to a range of resources and advanced business tools, including pro bono legal counsel. But what makes this initiative unique to RBC is the central focus of the program, the opportunity for the CEO of a Black and Brown-owned business to have a one-on-one relationship with the CEO of an RBC company. Participating CEOs of Black and Brown-owned businesses come from diverse backgrounds and industry, with 60% of CEOs in the initial cohort being female.
