Steve Pemberton Biography

Steve Pemberton, a trailblazing corporate executive, visionary youth champion, committed board member, and best-selling author, has always prioritized equality, access, and opportunity in his business and personal life. He presently works at Walgreens, one of America's oldest and most successful companies, as Chief Diversity Officer and Divisional Vice President. He is the first individual to occupy this position in the company's 113-year existence. This was not the road he had envisioned for himself. A caretaker regarded him as a kid who would not stand a chance in the world when he was one and a half years old. But, despite almost unfathomable odds, Steve refused to believe this prognosis. His biography, A Chance in the World, brilliantly captures his unrelenting march to maturity (Harper Collins, 2012). His book explores the extreme difficulties of navigating a foster care system that had forgotten about him while attempting to unravel the riddle of his identity and triumphantly return home one day. Steve is helped in his search by the kindnesses of various mystery individuals who are unaware that their gifts are giving him the determination to continue and complete his mission. These donors are at the heart of Steve's compelling speeches and key message: maybe you can select your family after all.
