“Ebony has developed a stellar track record leading cutting-edge diversity programs across the media landscape, and I’m excited to welcome her on board to fill this critically important role,” said Josh Eastright, CEO of Bloomberg Industry Group, in a statement. “Ebony’s leadership will play a vital role in helping us expand and enhance the work we’re doing to build one of the industry’s most diverse workplaces, ensuring that we’re continuing to create a truly welcoming and equitable environment for every member of our team, and driving greater diversity and representation throughout the company.”
