Meet Kevin, Director, National Accounts – Communication, Media, and Entertainment Vertical at TEKsystems
What do you love most about your job?
The people. Our organization tends to have long tenure and people is consistently the top answer as to why. I get the opportunity to partner with amazing people inside our organization who truly care and have invested in me to make me successful. In turn, we tend to get aligned with great customers who share similar values and are phenomenal as well. The relationships will outlast any job, title, company, etc.
How have other women helped shape your career?
One of my biggest mentors at my company that sponsored me for my current job and coached me to be great in previous roles was a woman named Lena Haviland. She helped me develop business acumen, develop personally to become a better partner and leader, and always was a resource for questions I had when taking on difficult challenges and/or new assignments. My teams that I have led historically have largely been comprised of woman who helped me become a better leader and support my customers better. I truly know I would not be where I am without the trust they placed in me and efforts we put forth together. Lastly, my wife has been a huge support system to be able to do everything I need to do while also having her own full time job as a software engineer, and helping me supporting raising our two young kids including a new baby girl who I am sure will shape my career over the coming years.
Outside of work, what’s something you are passionate about?
Running is a big one for me. I see it as my meditation and a great way to either escape, calm down, or get re centered if life is getting complicated and I need a reset.
What do you value most about your membership with The WICT Network?
The community. From the first moment of just expressing some desire to get involved and help the people I have interacted with have been phenomenal partners and people. My wife is a woman in technology and often can feel under supported, so this community is so necessary and supports great causes. TEKsystems is very focused on Inclusion and Diversity as it is one of our 6 company core values and this also aligns personally to my own core values so its always amazing to partner with others to be action oriented about driving positive change in that effort.
