In Their Own Words, With Purpose & Heart

We asked some current members of Black Women on Boards to reflect on how their involvement has enriched their professional journey and personal growth. We’re pleased to share their reflections here.

Jean Harvey Johnson

SVP, AI Enablement & Process Optimization, Fiserv

"Across the history of my membership, I have received a thoughtful, relevant and interesting board opportunity every other month. No other program comes near that level of targeted access. For anyone looking for black women leaders, focus here because this organization is where black women leaders want to be, where they are visible and valued."

Kim Thompson

Former Principal, PwC

“I joined two professional networks of senior executive women a year or so ago but will be renewing my membership only in one: Black Women on Boards. I have found BWOB’s carefully curated and unique events, programs and materials infinitely more valuable and enjoyable than the offerings of any other professional networking organization. Moreover, BWOB’s leaders and its members and the individuals from its partnering organizations are among the most insightful, inspiring yet still accessible and warm executives I’ve ever met.”

Jennifer Montague

President & COO, Columbia Gas of Virginia

“I am impressed with the high-quality programming that’s being provided to Black women executives at the top of their respective fields for board preparation, as well as the willingness to support and include new members as they work to reach their goals of corporate board service. And I've been in awe at the intentionality of Merline and Robin as they make connections with boards and private equity to increase the number of Black women on boards.”
