Pride Month 2025: Kyndryls celebrate allyship, visibility and well-being at work

What is your proudest professional accomplishment?

My proudest accomplishment has been helping to foster an inclusive and supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to bring their full, authentic selves to work.

What is the best piece of career advice you have received?

The best career advice I’ve ever received was to be authentic and true to myself at work, which would unlock my full potential while inspiring others to do the same. Coupled with integrity, which fosters trust and respect across teams, this approach has shaped my success.

At Kyndryl, we are focused on well-being. How do you focus on health and well-being?

It can be challenging in a fast-paced environment, but I prioritize well-being by setting boundaries between work and personal time. Spending time with my loved ones and doing physical exercise helps me relax.

Tell us about the importance of allyship in your journey.

I’ve rarely met people willing to stand up against discrimination when it happens; belief isn’t enough, actions matter. Within Kyndryl, I’ve found allies through our LGBTQ+ Kyndryl Inclusion Network (KIN), a business resource group. They’ve played a crucial role in driving our community’s empowerment initiatives.

What is your proudest professional accomplishment?

I led a major data center migration project. The environment was high-stress and highly restrictive. It was a challenging experience, but it remains the most productive and professionally fulfilling period of my career.

What is the best piece of career advice you have received?

Never stop learning and do not wait until you feel fully ready. Just take the opportunity and grow into it. That mindset has helped me move forward, even when I’ve had to rely on self-research more than guidance.
