Janice Bryant Howroyd – Founder & CEO – ActOne Group
Janice Bryant Howroyd Is one of the most accomplished and resilient self-made women in America, with an incredible life story. She was born in Tarboro, North Carolina to a family with 10 siblings, and she was the first African American student to attend her town's previously segregated high school. In 1978 after working for her brother-in-law at Billboard Magazine, Janice took a $900 loan from her mother to start a staffing agency called the ActOne Group.
Since then the ActOne Group has become one of the largest and most successful staffing agencies in the world, making Janice the first African American woman to be the founder and CEO of a billion-dollar company. She has written a book called Acting Up: Winning in Business and Life Using Down-Home Wisdom.
