Dean Forbes, the chief executive of software solutions firm Forterro, has been named the UK's most influential black person by The Powerlist 2025.
The tech business leader is joined in the top 10 by Bernard Mensah, president of international at Bank of America, and Afua Kyei, the chief financial officer at the Bank of England.
The Powerlist, in partnership with JP Morgan, recognises the UK's most powerful people of African, African Caribbean and African American heritage and has previously been topped by former editor-in-chief of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, seventime Formula One world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton and former Children's Laureate Malorie Blackman.
Also in the top 10 is Emma Grede, a founding partner in Kim Kardashian's Skims clothing range, and Adejoke Bakare, the UK's first black female chef to earn a Michelin star. The Powerlist was launched in 2005 as a way to showcase black role models to inspire young people.
