Greg Cunningham has been promoted to vice president of global
inclusion and diversity for U.S. Bank, expanding the bank’s efforts
to promote diversity throughout its workforce, vendors, customers
and community relationships.
Cunningham joined U.S. Bank in September 2015 as vice president,
customer engagement. In his new position, Cunningham will direct
all of the bank’s diversity and inclusion activities, focusing on
workplace/culture, multicultural customer outreach, supplier
diversity, and community and corporate social responsibility.
Cunningham reports to Reba Dominski, senior vice president of
corporate social responsibility and president of U.S. Bank
Foundation.
“Companies across the nation are facing a changing marketplace
and those that want to thrive must adapt to reflect that cultural,
social and ethnic diversity,” Cunningham said. “For instance,
millennials don’t want to be marketed to; they want a relationship
with a brand and company, and those companies that have a clear
strategy on corporate social responsibility and community
engagement will win.”
Recently, Cunningham wrote about his struggle to be his
authentic self at work as an African-American executive. His
challenge is to enable all employees to bring their true identity
and culture to the office.
“The pool of talent is becoming smaller and smaller and the
competition more fierce, particularly for millennials. So now there
is a war for talent and we must adapt to earn our share of hiring
victories,” Cunningham said. “By engineering a workplace that is
open-minded, fair, inclusive and diverse, U.S. Bank becomes a peak
career destination.”
Before joining U.S. Bank, Cunningham served 16 years at Target
Corp., most recently leading lifestyle marketing and helping grow
the company’s business by driving brand differentiation through
cultural leadership.
Cunningham earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing from
Clark-Atlanta University and an MBA from Fordham University in New
York City. He is a native of Pittsburgh, Penn.
