Stevon Cook (he/him) believes that when the values of inclusion are put into practice every aspect of an organization improves. As a Senior Consultant with ReadySet and a member of the Executive Services team, he works in partnership with business leaders to build their practice around inclusive leadership. Prior to joining ReadySet, Stevon was elected to the San Francisco Board of Education where he served as President. While serving, he passed K-12 Black Studies for all students, reformed the student assignment system and championed equity causes as it related to achievement, housing and transportation. He was also CEO of Mission Bit, an Edtech nonprofit that strives to end generational poverty through coding. He raised several million dollars in partnership with companies like Adobe, Salesforce, the City of San Francisco and The Golden State Warriors to expand access to this critical learning opportunity. In his spare time, Stevon enjoys traveling, writing, pretending to learn Spanish and training for his first amateur boxing match. Please excuse him in advance if you hear his dog Willow in the background during a remote meeting. She's always trying to distract him because she wants to play.
