JSESSIONID

Founder & CEO | Black Executive Men — The Private Network for Corporate Black Men

Las Vegas has been good to me.
BEM has a bright future here.
Again - welcome home.

#BlackExecutiveMen

In Las Vegas, we decided.
As senior executives and board directors, we came together with one purpose:

Our influence will no longer be isolated.

It will be shared, multiplied, and visible to the world.

Over toasts and parchment, we pledged that we will:

- Sponsor each other
- Become hyper visible
- Create our own boards
- Invest with each other
- Leave a lasting legacy
- Enjoy luxury venues

The barrier of trust is gone.
Collaboration now flows.
And the timing is now.

Black Executive Men are here.
We accept our place in history.

Excellence Refined.

When C-Suite leaders and board directors come together, the value isn’t in broad strokes — it’s in the fine details.

At Black Executive Men, our gatherings are defined by more than presence. They are about:

	•	Authentic connections — built with trust, depth, and longevity.
	•	Precision conversations — the kind that shape the next 3-5 years.
	•	Shared legacy — ensuring our collective influence not only expands, but endures for decades to come.

These moments remind us that leadership at the highest levels is sharpened in the company of equals who demand more from themselves — and each other.

#LegacyClass #BlackExecutiveMen #CorporateIcons

It was a true honor hosting Jim Dunn, PhD, DHA, FACHE at this year’s Corporate Icons gathering in Las Vegas.

This convening brought together Black men in senior leadership and board roles—an echelon of executives committed to exchanging best practices, advancing shared investments, strengthening succession strategies, and expanding pathways into board service. 

Just as important, it futher elevated visibility for tier one Black leadership on the global stage.

The experience was captured with poetry and precision by journalist Leroy Adams, who chronicled the evening in the article linked below. His words give voice to the gravity of the moment and the power present in the room.

For many of our guests, it was the first time they had ever stood shoulder to shoulder with so many peers of this caliber. The atmosphere was electric—equal parts fellowship, strategy, and vision for what comes next. Together, we stood not as individuals, but as a true powerhouse.

The response since has been nothing short of overwhelming. And yet, as we look to the future, we remain committed to intimacy, discretion, and excellence. 

Next year’s Corporate Icons gathering will remain limited to 30 of the most accomplished C-level Black men in the corporate world, ensuring that the experience remains personal, strategic, and unforgettable.

Michel E. Moravia
Chairman & CEO, Quality Means Business

Michel E. Moravia is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Quality Means Business (QMB), an organization he founded with a single conviction: regulatory strategy should never stand between life-saving medical technologies and the patients who need them.

Through years of partnership with MedTech and biopharma leaders navigating the challenges of FDA submissions, denials, and compliance risk, Michel recognized the limits of traditional consulting—and envisioned a new path forward. That vision became QualiVerse, QMB’s flagship SaaS platform and the first AI-native system built by regulatory professionals for regulatory professionals. Powered by a proprietary regulatory knowledge graph, AI agents, and a patent-pending algorithm, QualiVerse accelerates approvals, reduces denials, and strengthens compliance across the healthcare industry.

Michel thrives at the intersection of regulatory intelligence, AI innovation, and venture-scale growth—advancing a mission to ensure the next generation of healthcare breakthroughs reach patients faster, stronger, and without compromise.

Now, as he joins Black Executive Men, Michel enters a global circle where the most accomplished corporate Black men align—not simply to succeed individually, but to redefine the archetype of leadership for the world to see.

Welcome, Michel. Your presence strengthens our legacy.

✉️💙📝 The Blue Letter Tradition

In Dallas, we begin something powerful. One hundred corporate Black men will put pen to paper—not in business, not in strategy decks, but in friendship.

The Blue Letter Tradition is about slowing down, centering ourselves, and taking time to write a heartfelt letter of appreciation to another Black man in our lives. A brother who has supported, inspired, or stood by us.

This is about more than a letter.
It’s about belonging, mutual support, and intentional connection. We are taking the act of friendship into our own hands—ensuring the men in our lives feel seen, heard, and valued in a way that lasts forever.

Spoken words can fade.
But the written word endures.
Letters have always carried history, from personal notes to the documents that shaped nations. A Blue Letter can be held, re-read, and cherished for years to come—a timeless artifact of brotherhood.

In a fastpaced world of technological advancement and faceless transactions, intentional relationship building through penmanship is still valued here.

In Dallas, we begin with 100 pens, 100 letters, 100 commitments to deepen and elevate our friendships. From here, we carry it forward—building a culture of Black male friendship on the global stage.

#StrongerTogether

What Makes BEM Different?
When we gather, it’s not just about 
business deals, promotions, or new jobs.

We build authentic relationships.
Share our ups and downs.
Real human beings.

Executive polish we’ve mastered.

But it doesn’t stop there.

Members ask:

“How’s your mom’s health?” 
“How’s your son enjoying college?” 
“How was that marathon or vacation?” 

We care about the personal just as much as 
the professional, because what’s success 
without someone to celebrate it with? 

Black Executive Men know this: 
Life is about relationships. 
Enduring connections.

Investing in people with shared values 
cultivates a legacy that outlives us all. 

Request membership: www.blackexecutivemen.com

Visibility matters—and BEM ensures Black male excellence is seen. We elevate stories, highlight achievements, and document our culture in ways that inspire the world. Visibility creates legacy.
