• Business leaders including Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook, and Roz Brewer responded to the verdict soon after.
• Many said the verdict was only the beginning of the fight against institutional racism.

After Derek Chauvin was found guilty of the murder of George Floyd on Tuesday afternoon, top US business leaders were quick to respond.

Many said that the ruling was only the beginning of the fight against institutional racism, and urged more action.

The CEOs of Apple and Dell shared quotes by civil-rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., while Zoom CEO Eric Yuan urged his staff to take care of their mental health.

Chauvin, a Minneapolis police officer at the time, knelt on Floyd's neck for more than nine minutes during an arrest. Chauvin was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter.

Floyd's death has led to increased scrutiny of police brutality and institutional racism around the world, and gave further international attention to the Black Lives Matter movement.
