Richard D. Parsons was not only a masterful troubleshooter in times of business crises but also a passionate advocate for social justice and diversity in the corporate world.
Throughout his career, Parsons was often the only Black executive in the boardroom, navigating corporate America with grace and a commitment to inclusion and fairness.
He was known for his ability to disentangle complex corporate issues, having led significant turnarounds at major companies like Time Warner, Citigroup, and CBS.
As a self-described Rockefeller Republican, Parsons actively participated in efforts advocating for equality, co-founding the Equity Alliance to empower ventures led by underrepresented groups.
