Arlington-based Bloomberg Industry Group appointed Ebony Amoroso as its first head of diversity, inclusion and community, it announced Friday.

“Ebony has developed a stellar track record leading cutting-edge diversity programs across the media landscape, and I’m excited to welcome her on board to fill this critically important role,” Josh Eastright, CEO of Bloomberg Industry Group, said in a statement.

Amoroso will oversee and expand the company’s diversity and inclusion initiatives and its philanthropy and community outreach. She will oversee the implementation of the media and tech company’s recent diversity and inclusion action plan and will advocate for employee resource groups.

“I’m impressed by the steps Bloomberg Industry Group has taken to deliver on its commitments – particularly in the plans that each business unit has put in place for the year ahead that complement and augment the company’s overarching efforts,” Amoroso said in a statement. “I look forward to partnering with my colleagues across the company to continue building on our progress and doing everything we can to make sure that every employee is — and feels — seen, heard, valued and respected.”

Amoroso was previously Endeavor’s director of inclusion and strategy, a role in which she led the company’s Empower, Mentorship and Recruitment programs and created a corporate training structure for new employees. She was named to Variety’s 2017 Inclusion Impact Report.
