The New Muscles of Leadership ft. Bloomberg, Meta, Google, and 5s Diversity Marketing Leaders

This year’s most-requested topic for the Visionaries Podcast has been “Leadership Skills for Navigating the New Business Environment.” For such an important topic, we wanted to hear from leaders who model this well: 

• Antonio Lucio, founder and principal at 5S Diversity (former CMO of Facebook, HP, and Visa) 
• Nick Drake, VP of Marketing at Google 
• Lizette Williams, Global Head of Vertical Solutions Marketing at Meta. 
• Chris Marino, Global Head of Media and Marketing Technology at Bloomberg Media 

These four Visionaries have dedicated countless hours to listening, learning, and observing the ever-changing landscape of their industry while honing the leadership skills required for these changes.

Antonio enjoyed a 40-year career in marketing before devoting 100% of his time to mentoring the next generation of marketing leaders. Nick was inspired by Antonio’s leadership skills when Antonio worked as CMO at Visa and has since become a people-centric leader himself. Lizette and Chris were among the first members of the Adweek Mentorship Exchange and had the privilege of being mentored by Antonio and Nick and remain in touch to this day. 

In this conversation, Antonio and Nick discuss the foundational principles of leadership and how the demands are changing. Lizette and Chris provide valuable perspectives from being mentored to becoming mentors themselves. Their collective insights offer a deeper understanding of new and much-needed leadership muscles, the importance of mentorship, and how confidence is a building block for greater impact and influence.
