The year-long mentorship program pairs each mentee with a Salesforce mentor and VP-level sponsor/advocate who aligns with their development goals.
- Over the next year, mentees will attend quarterly sessions taught by university professors on topics like business strategy pivots, marketing in turbulent times, and talent optimization.
- Mentees will also have an opportunity to learn from some of Salesforce’s largest customers, partners, and suppliers during monthly meet-and-greet sessions.
“I’m excited to be launching the second class of our mentorship program as we continue to work to drive inclusive business practices and empower businesses owned by people of color to help close the wealth gap and advance racial equality,” said Jennifer Browne, Chief Procurement Officer, Salesforce. “Since launching the Racial Equality and Justice Task Force, I’m proud that we have exceeded $100 million in spending with Black-owned businesses, meeting our 2023 goal early.”
About Salesforce
At Salesforce, Equality is one of our highest values, and we are committed to driving racial equality throughout our communities and workplace. To move these initiatives forward with urgency and care, we assembled a Racial Equality and Justice task force in 2020 dedicated to taking action across four pillars of purchasing, people, philanthropy, and policy. The Racial Equality and Justice task force works to effect systemic change in communities by driving inclusive business practices, investing resources, empowering minority-led organizations, cultivating partnerships, designing technology with everyone in mind, and advocating for policies for racial equality. With this in mind, we’ve been working hard to empower minority-owned businesses to help close the wealth gap and advance racial equality. Now in its second year, the Salesforce Black-Owned Business Mentorship Program will continue to invest in black-owned businesses by providing 25 companies with sponsorship, education, and networking opportunities to help grow and develop their businesses.
