Lakeitria A. Luter
Media, Entertainment & Sports
“Lakeitria built a national apprenticeship program with the Department of Veterans Affairs and Labor that helped her hire over 1,000 veterans in four years, then went on to lift underrepresented hiring by 50% and cut turnover by 30% while running DEI initiatives at Service King. She still sits on the Heroes Foundation's board and just spoke at their July Speaker Series on AI in HR and Recruiting, five months into building out Global Talent Acquisition at Cinemark. She's the kind of leader who treats inclusive hiring as an actual operating metric, not a slide in a deck.”
