Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced the
appointment of Sharawn Connors to the role of chief diversity and
inclusion officer.
Connors joined Micron in July 2019 as the vice president of
diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI). Under Connors’ leadership,
Micron established six key DEI commitments for fiscal year 2021,
integrated global initiatives in the company’s business and
operations, and set strategy-driven goals around diverse hiring,
talent retention and advancement, and inclusion. Her success has
been demonstrated by several accomplishments that are now embedded
into Micron’s culture and business.
With guidance from Connors, Micron achieved comprehensive pay
equity for underrepresented groups in March 2021; grew membership
in employee-led resource groups by 84% from fiscal year 2019 to
fiscal year 2020; and launched global allyship training for all
employees to promote an inclusive culture.
“Sharawn’s leadership has been pivotal in accelerating Micron’s
progress in diversity, equality and inclusion, where all team
members are seen, heard, valued and respected,” said April Arnzen,
senior vice president and chief people officer at Micron. “Micron
is committed to building an atmosphere where all people feel
welcomed. This appointment reinforces our focus to stand for social
justice whenever we can, address parity for underrepresented groups
across the business and in the community, and implement meaningful
improvements in workplace practices and operations.”
Connors’ professional experience spans human resources,
information technology, project management, and operations. Prior
to joining Micron, she led global diversity and inclusion efforts
at Flex (formerly Flextronics).
Connors is also an advocate for affordable housing and quality
elder care for underrepresented groups in her hometown of Oakland,
California. She holds a Master of Science in human resource
management from Golden Gate University and a Bachelor of Arts in
history from California State University.
