Two Executives from BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BXC) Featured as the Most Influential Black Executives in Corporate America
19 July 2022 - 10:30PM
BlueLinx Holdings Inc. (NYSE: BXC) (“BlueLinx”) is proud to
announce that its President and Chief Executive Officer, Dwight
Gibson, as well as Chief People Officer Kevin Henry are included in
Savoy Magazine’s prestigious 2022 Most Influential Black Executives
in Corporate America issue.
Savoy Magazine is the leading African American
business and lifestyle magazine. Its esteemed annual Most
Influential Black Executives in Corporate America publication is
considered the definitive listing of African American executives,
influencers, and achievers impacting corporate America.
“I’m truly honored that Kevin and I are recognized
among the best and brightest African American leaders, particularly
given that the listing takes into account not only corporate
influence but also how we each are making an impact in our
communities,” said Gibson.
Henry added, “The inclusion is a great reflection
of the momentum and leadership culture we’re building here at
BlueLinx.”
The 2022 Most Influential Black Executives in
Corporate America is an elite representation of executives who are
making strides at the helm of some of the highest-performing
companies throughout the US and beyond. It is especially notable
that two BlueLinx leaders are included on the list. They are among
a small number of African American executives in the building
supply industry as well as in the ranks of publicly traded
companies.
The honor is one more achievement during a year of
measurable progress for both executives. Gibson recently marked his
first year as CEO of BlueLinx, during which he led the company to
exceptional financial performance, and in June led the team as it
rang The New York Stock Exchange opening bell. Henry joined the
organization in 2022 and already has directed efforts to establish
an inclusive, high-performance culture. Together, they are building
a world-class leadership team to drive the company’s continued
success.
You can access the 2022 Most Influential Black
Executives in Corporate America listing in the Summer issue of
Savoy, released on July 18, 2022.
