“We are proud that Lisa Landstein will represent Voya as a member of the CEO Action for Racial Equity fellowship program,” said Voya Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Rodney O. Martin, Jr. “Voya was one of the original companies to join CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion, in 2017 — we are delighted that a key member of our leadership team will help drive much-needed societal change.”
According to CEO Action, a recent survey noted that 71% of Americans place more trust in companies to respond to racial injustice than the government (36%). With more than 1,300 signatory organizations, CEO Action is the largest CEO-driven business commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
“The launch of the CEO Action for Racial Equity initiative comes at a critical inflection point as individuals and organizations realize that eradicating systemic racism in our nation will take all of us,“ said Landstein. “At Voya, we have a specific focus on working together with our customers and clients to advance everyone’s opportunity for a better financial future. I’m honored to be selected to represent Voya on this important initiative.”
