"There was no greater experience than marching side-by-side with Rev. Jesse Jackson." - John Martinko, Drexel Hamilton


President of 100% Veteran-owned Drexel Hamilton, John Martinko, said, "Counting my seven combat tours to Iraq & Afghanistan as a Special Operations Airborne Ranger, there was no greater experience than marching side-by-side with Rev. Jesse Jackson. It was a spiritual experience."

Martinko, a three time Bronze Star recipient, would lead a panel of leaders on the frontlines of diversity and inclusion in banking: Patrice Altongy of HSBC, Brian Dunlap of J.P. Morgan, Karen Dunn of Bank of America, Randall Lacayo of Wells Fargo, James Roundtree III of BNY Mellon and Jia Shan of Goldman Sachs.


The financial professionals on stage gave sharp insights on how to grow opportunities for diverse businesses, but most of all, are the living embodiment of courage and initiative, while time might not change things, these leaders will.
