Mellody Hobson, co-CEO of Ariel investments and No. 94 on the Forbes Power Women list, wants to"slingshot" out of the pandemic, not stumble.For all the many challenges that 2020 has thrown at leaders, investors, women—well, everyone—Mellody Hobson, who the co-CEO of Ariel Investments, does not want to stumble out of this time.
The pandemic and our work-from-home realities aren’t over yet, but Hobson is arguably on that slingshot. The 94th most powerful woman in the world according to the 2020 Forbes Power Women list, Hobson will become the, and the only Black woman to chair an S&P 500 company unless one of the other 499 makes a move soon.
“America was born with a birth defect—as my friend Bryan Stevenson from the Equal Justice Initiative says—and the thing about a birth defect, which for us was slavery, is that a birth defect is not fatal,” Hobson told Moira Forbes, executive vice president of Forbes Media, during Wednesday’s summit. “But you never get rid of it, and pretending it’s not there doesn’t make it go away.”
