Adam Roosevelt, a 28-year-old politician and combat veteran, is adding to his illustrious résumé by becoming the first African American to be chosen as SEM North America’s first CEO.

Grant Leslie, the COO of SEM said Roosevelt is a welcomed addition.

“This business opportunity brings Adam Roosevelt as one of the few African American pioneers of eco-friendly environmental solutions that will disrupt multiple industries around North America and around the globe.”

In addition to Roosevelt, other African American CEOs have made headlines recently.

Lowe’s CEO Marvin Ellison announced the home improvement company would assist minority-owned businesses with $25 million in grants to support efforts to relaunch the American economy.
