As the color drained from the sky, a group gathered before the white-stoned basilica of St. Denis, where dozens of French kings are buried, to pay homage to their ancestors. Not to King Louis XIII, who formerly authorized the slave trade in 1642, or his son, the Sun King, who introduced slavery’s legal code, both of whose remains are buried inside the gothic building. They came for the victims, who are honored by a modest memorial outside. “This is Jean-Pierre Calodat,” said Josée Grard, 81, running her fingers along the name written on the globe-shaped sculpture as tambour drums echoed around her. His wife, Marie Lette, must be nearby.”There are just four memorials like this around France.

He's vice president and chief culture officer at the insurance giant Chubb, and diversity, equity, and inclusion work falls under his remit. Page used an example of walking into a room of people and giving them all a pair of size 10 shoes. So I really came to this work as a business leader with a lot of experience running a business. There are a few instances where there's important business information that you need to impart, and you may have a difficult time getting the attention of leadership. I think the challenge around this is that if you're really committed to your view on this, then you have to find a different way.

AdvertisementParth Raval is a big fan of planning, especially at a company like PepsiCo. As chief growth officer for PepsiCo Foods North America, Raval has to balance the short term with the long term. Continuing to build out and accelerate agendas around longer-range planning across supply and demand, and using technology to help us be more granular. I think this was manifested in longer-range planning across supply and demand, as macroeconomic factors created an imbalance at times. It's actually something we're going to turn to in 2024 to do better, longer-range planning.

While I don't think AI is going to solve everything, I'm really excited for the role that AI is going to play in making work better. AI is really going to help people balance their workday. I think that's really going to help people clear their day and stop spending so much time on those more routine tasks that could just be automated. I think it's also going to give us an opportunity to think about productivity in a much more meaningful way. You have to really think about how you're structuring your day in order to maximize productivity.

What was supposed to be a way to get through the summer doing "the lame insurance thing" turned into a career, she said. "People's expectations of this industry are generally quite wrong," Robic told Business Insider. What makes insurance unique, Robic said, is that "the thing you're promising people doesn't change." What's one thing you're excited about for 2024? And it sounds silly, because it's insurance, and I think you're inundated with images on TV as to what insurance is.

He says 2024 will mark a return to innovation and doing more around marketing for its many brands. AdvertisementFor Steve Presley and Nestlé, 2024 is about getting back to innovation. As CEO of Nestlé's Zone North America, he sees 2024 as a year to get back to basics. So, the traditional way of demand generation and winning categories with consumers, and creating value for consumers is really what I'm excited about for 2024. So it looks like we're in a stable inflationary environment — or more stable — and we're in a stable supply environment, now we get back to serving households better.

The software-as-a-service provider is "aggressively pursuing our ambition to absolutely be an AI-first company," Chris Bedi, the chief digital-information officer at ServiceNow, told Business Insider.

AdvertisementThe challenge that ServiceNow and all companies face is around fast innovation, "but also we take care of governance, safety, and ethics" around AI, Bedi said.

Read previewWhen I first spoke to Juergen Mueller, SAP's chief technology officer, earlier this year, generative AI was the hot new thing. One issue with language models and generative AI is that it often has a cutoff point and lacks up-to-date knowledge. SAP has trained more than 50,000 of the company's 105,000 workers on what it sees as the opportunities that Gen AI brings. The worst thing is if only a few would know how and what to do with it and the majority wouldn't. This strong foundation of AI expertise has been enabling us to infuse generative AI capabilities across our solutions and deliver immediate value to customers.

Cushman helps landlords fill their spaces, from office buildings to retail stores to warehouses, and aids companies in finding space to lease. If they're managing a big office building, for example, they'll work out of that building rather than a Cushman office. Cushman uses AI chatbots to supplement its other offerings for client support to solve their problems faster. AI, Companieh said, can help Cushman employees "maximize their time to best serve the client." The misuse of AI technology is obviously at the forefront of a lot of our thoughts.

10 industry leaders transforming business in 2023

In 2023, Business Insider's annual list of People Transforming Business highlights key players across the advertising, ESG, finance, AI, and labor sectors. Increasingly, they're turning to more opaque private credit markets to borrow money. The world of private credit sits outside the traditional banking system. Analysts expect the private credit market to balloon in size — likely keeping lawyers like Breen very busy. Muthukrishnan is trying to make sense of how risky these private credit loans are by overseeing what is so far the most comprehensive look at vulnerabilities in the industry.

She has Slacked senior women leaders "The Man" by Taylor Swift as a reminder of "you got this." She was its first general counsel, helped take the company public, and was named president this July. As you learn who the Lyft customer is, what do you want to change and make better for them? I really say, "Have the courage of a mediocre white male."
