BOSTON, January 20, 2022 /3BL Media/ - FSG, a global social impact advisory firm, is pleased to announce that Shumeca Pickett has joined the firm as a managing director. In her new role, Shumeca will help lead the firm’s corporate racial equity work alongside a talented team of social change experts.

首席执行官格雷格·希尔斯（Greg Hills）说：“我们很高兴能让舒梅卡（Shumeca）加入FSG担任董事总经理。”“在过去的几年中，我们的企业咨询业务越来越集中于帮助我们的客户磨练他们的公平目的。舒梅卡（Shumeca）是一位可靠的领导者和关系建筑商，其智力和情感深度与她的文化流畅性相匹配。”

“I’m happy to join FSG at this point in time,” said Shumeca. “Corporations have a critical role to play when it comes to creating the equitable systems change that we need so much. Whether the focus is on finance, socioeconomic mobility, innovation, or joining forces with communities, the power of corporations to reduce inequity is vast—if they are willing to be authentic, strategic, and collaborative.

“我相信爱是对使他人受益的决定的承诺。对人们的热爱维持社区，企业和系统。FSG非常适合以任务驱动的专业人员（例如我本人）来帮助保护和改善人们的福利，”她说。

In addition to working with a talented team on corporate racial equity, Shumeca will help FSG’s clients with her expertise and focus on CSR, economic development, and systems thinking.

Shumeca comes to FSG from Alfred Dewitt Ard, the social impact consulting firm she founded in 2010 to work with a cross-section of people and organizations to help them build and lead anti-racist organizations. As founder and principal, she developed executive engagement strategies across public, private, and government sectors to secure new business. She also offered coaching, assessments, project design, and planning services to provide race-informed support to executive leaders.

Shumeca was also the first-ever director of civic partnerships for World Business Chicago, where she led the creation of an inclusive economic development mission and culture. Prior to launching her firm, she also filled roles in diversity, equity, and inclusion and strategy, team, and business development leadership at JP Morgan Chase and PNC Bank. She earned her BS from Chicago State University before earning her MBA from Indiana Wesleyan University.

Since 2000, FSG has been at the forefront of helping foundations, corporations, nonprofits, and other philanthropic actors create a more equitable world. Today, more than 160 staff in the US, Europe, and India work with clients and partners from the private, public, and philanthropic sectors to reimagine how social change can happen. In addition to offering advisory services, FSG’s thought leadership offers the field practical insights drawn from our cross-sector work. FSG also helps build communities of practice through innovative programs and initiatives: the Collective Impact Forum, Growing Livelihood Opportunities for Women (GLOW), Program to Improve Private Early Education (PIPE), the Shared Value Initiative, and Talent Rewire.
