Congratulations to the 2020 Most Influential Multi-Ethnic Executives!

This year more than ever, Cablefax is proud to continue our longstanding recognition of the top multi-ethnic industry executives, based on their accomplishments and influence — as well as their commitment to ensuring that other executives of color receive the same opportunities to grow and flourish.

While brainstorming ideas for the magazine cover, our goal was to shine a spotlight on all the honorees, and we did just that.

Cablefax has produced this magazine for over 10 years, and we have changed with it. In this issue, Cablefax unveils some new distinctions, including LGBTQ+ Exec of the Year, D&I Mentor of the Year, Thrivers Under 30, Trailblazers and Diversity Organization honors.

Enjoy the digital issue and also read & share individual profiles below.
