Blueprint Capital Advisors Confirms 2026 Power100 Advocates Honorees

On February 26, 2026, Blueprint Capital Advisors proudly announced the highly anticipated 2026 Power100 list, which honors a remarkable group of individuals and organizations dedicated to fostering fair opportunities within the investment landscape. These honorees have made it their mission to amplify diverse voices and advocate for inclusivity in an industry that thrives on equitable participation.

Among this year's honorees are notable figures such as Michael Billings of MB Mission and Mandy Bynum, an independent advocate for equity. Other prominent names on the list include Genie Cesar-Fabian representing the Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA), and Chrissie Chen Pariso from MPowered Capital. Each of these leaders exemplifies courage and commitment in addressing systemic barriers and creating pathways for marginalized communities in finance.

Jacob Walthour, the CEO of Blueprint Capital Advisors, expressed his excitement about the honorees, noting, "These leaders have chosen to use their platforms not simply to participate in the system, but to strengthen it — to open doors that challenge outdated norms and expand access to opportunity." The sentiment reflects a growing recognition that the future of capital markets hinges on intentional efforts to cultivate an inclusive environment.

Erica Madrid, Executive Director of Power100, echoed Walthour's sentiments by stating, "Power100 Advocates are culture-shapers. They influence policy, capital flows, networks, and narratives in impactful ways." The advocates selected for this list are not only guiding their firms but are also leading the industry towards a brighter, more inclusive future.

The honorees also include trailblazers such as Shané Harris from Prudential, Morgan DeBaun of Blavity, and Mia Delano representing the Women's Business Enterprise National Council. Each has played a pivotal role in advancing the conversation about equity in investment and in creating platforms that uplift underrepresented voices.

The full list of 2026 Power100 Advocates features a diverse array of individuals and organizations, all dedicated to reshaping the investment sector for the better. The complete lineup includes:

• - William Goodloe, Sponsors for Educational Opportunity
• - Robert Gordon IV, Black Venture Capital
• - Kerry Kennedy, Robert Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center
• - Jim Park, Association of Asian American Investment Managers
• - Rachel Noerdlinger, Actum Group

This year’s Power100 Advocates ceremony will unfold during the 3rd Annual Power100 Honoree Dinner taking place on May 3, 2026, at the iconic Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, California. Notably, the weekend of celebrations, scheduled from May 2 to May 4, coincides with the influential Milken Institute Global Conference, underscoring the significance of this gathering within the industry.
