Slalom Stands in Protest, for Equality and Humanity, and Against Racism
Bertmarie Lozano of Slalom Atlanta says #HispanicHeritageMonth feels different this year. As we continue to learn and share, the challenges we’ve faced in 2020 are inspiring deeper conversations that #CelebrateAuthenticity.
Michelle Yi, #AI expert and founder of Slalom Innovation for Good, offers wise words for aspiring leaders:
“If I could go back in time and tell myself something, I’d say, ‘Don’t be afraid to speak up, because you know what you’re doing.’”
Michelle’s story remains one of the most inspiring we’ve ever heard. Read it here: https://slalom.ws/2X4ZkvY #CelebrateAuthenticity
“In my first year and a half, I had lunch with a senior leader who I asked for advice on what more I could do. She told me that I deserved the seat at the table that I was given, so don’t be shy about it. Use it to my fullest advantage.”
Thank you Paola for exemplifying what it means to be a leader at Slalom and helping us earn our spot on the 2020 Fortune #BestWorkplaces for Women list!

How has your definition of success changed as you grow in your career? Shivani Patel from Slalom Hartford weighs in and offers some advice for her past self: “Success to me means continuous growth and striving to hit milestone achievements along the way. Therefore, I would tell my past self to not work towards one specific definition of success, but to allow their view of success to evolve with life’s twists and turns.” Thank you for helping us #CelebrateAuthenticity, Shivani!
