15 Jan: These Black Leaders Are Helping Best Buy Thrive

Black History Month is a time to reflect on the significant contributions and achievements Black Americans have made — and continue to make — to our country, our communities and our company.

At Best Buy, we know that diversity matters year-round. That’s why we aim to build teams that reflect our communities across all parts of our business, including our stores, distribution centers and the corporate office.

This month, we’re highlighting three dynamic Black leaders who are helping drive Best Buy forward.

11 Feb: Buy a phone case, get a lesson in black history for free

Michael Pratt is an entrepreneur with a brain for business and a heart for history.

“I’ve spent time learning all of who I am and where I’ve come from” Michael said. “I take extreme pride in my background because I have knowledge of self, and that’s given me the confidence to take risks that have led to the successes I’ve enjoyed so far.”

Michael’s latest success comes from his new company, Pivet, which introduces different and sometimes never-before-seen tech products to store shelves.

Diversity and Inclusion Black History Month

18 Feb: Black History Month Breakfast at Best Buy

In honor of Black History Month, Rosalind Chevreuil hosted a breakfast that encouraged meaningful conversation on the topic of diversity and inclusion at Best Buy.

This was a unique opportunity for the Retail Regional Vice Presidents, field leaders and Black Employee Resource Group members and other employees from across the company to learn more about each other’s roles at Best Buy and to talk about diversity and inclusion and the role it plays in our business.
