How Comparably created this year's ranking

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella placed at the very top of company review site Comparably's ranking called the "Best CEOs for Diversity" this year. This ranking used anonymous CEO ratings left by workers of color from June 24, 2021 to June 24, 2022, according to Comparably's methodology.

The CEOs on the large company list lead companies with over 500 employees.

Yamini Rangan of HubSpot, who ranked number one on Comparably's "Best CEOs for Women" list this year, also ranked fourth in this newly published ranking. 

There are ways companies and leaders can continue to make strides in improving their DEI efforts, as Insider has previously reported.

Each company's industry and quotes for each CEO were given to Insider by Comparably. The full list and more about the ranking can be found on Comparably.
