👀 40 most read Voice articles in 2022 At number 26: Black excellence: The Powerlist 2023
JOHN LEWIS chair Dame Sharon White has been named Britain’s most influential black person in The Powerlist 2023.
“My hope is that we can take the serendipity out of social mobility – everyone should have the chance to be who they want to be in life, with their background as a source of pride, not a disadvantage.”Among the new names for 2023, are Misan Harriman, Riki Bleu, Founder and co-President of record label Since ‘93 and Simon Hepburn CEO UK Cyber Security Council.
“Dame Sharon White totally deserves to be recognised as the UK’s most powerful black Briton on the Powerlist 2023. She is an example of true excellence and this is evident throughout her valuable input and work as chair of John Lewis and her academic and professional journey to date. She has been able to have a huge impact in one of the top retail companies in the UK which is truly remarkable. I applaud the great work she is doing.
Despite facing challenges of the pandemic, with her leadership the company has seen pre-tax profits grow by more than a third year on year. This year’s top 10 consists of several movers and shakers from the business world, many who have risen into the top 10 as a result of their remarkable achievements over the past year.
Raised in Leyton, east London, Dame Sharon is a visiting fellow of Nuffield College, University of Oxford. She was awarded a Damehood in the 2020 New Year’s Honours, for public service.This year’s top tenDean Forbes CEO, Forterro, Partner at Corten CapitalTunde Olanrewaju Senior Partner, McKinsey and CompanyDavid Olusoga Historian; Joint Creative Director of Uplands Television Ltd
