Renting the Pandemic Runway & Diversify, or Delist: the Nasdaq’s New Rule with Ursula Burns & Darren Walker

The Nasdaq has proposed a new rule to require its 3,000+ listed companies to disclose Board of Directors demographics. Ursula Burns, former Xerox CEO and board member at Uber, Nestle, and ExxonMobil, joins Ford Foundation president Darren Walker in a discussion about diversity’s impact on the financial bottom line, finding diverse talent, and encouraging evolution in corporate America. Rent the Runway CEO Jenn Hyman says despite casual pandemic fashion trends, her business is holding steady. A Covid vaccine is drawing nearer on the horizon; CNBC’s Julianna Tatelbaum reports on the United Kingdom’s process for distributing supply to vulnerable populations. Plus, Tesla’s Elon Musk is putting pressure on his employees, and wealthy U.S. citizens are on the move--or at least, making plans to.
