Charles Stevens
spent 22 years at Microsoft as a corporate vice president from 1984
to 2006. Now, he’s focused on what he calls “giving forward.”
Charles sits on the boards of multiple nonprofits including Seattle
Children’s and United Way of King County. In this episode of our
Beyond the Blue Badge podcast, host Eddie Pate — who was hired by
Charles at Microsoft — talks with his former colleague about
leading diversity initiatives, lessons learned over the past two
decades, and the systemic racism that guides many sectors in the
U.S. including business, education, and healthcare.
