Closing out AAPI Heritage Month strong with Iris Hsu, IT Manager II for IT Investment and Performance Governance - Americas:
What does AAPI Heritage Month mean to you?
"It’s time to shatter some stereotypes! 😊 AAPIs come in many packages! This AAPI was born in Oklahoma and raised in Texas. I often forget that I’m AAPI because my eyes face outward. I don’t focus on the color of my skin or what my features look like. I focus on what the people around me need and how I can best serve them. So for me, AAPI Heritage Month is not specifically about AAPI. While that sounds ironic at first, please hear me out. At its core, I believe AAPI Heritage Month is a time to recognize and appreciate that America is comprised of people from many different ethnicities, and AAPI is one of the many. While it is an ongoing journey to truly bring equity to all people, learning about the American quilt of ethnicities is a great step in the right direction.
I am a proud graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with a double major in management information systems and honors plan, and I hold a Master of Arts in global leadership from Fuller Theological Seminary. My journey in industry and consulting spans 23 years, focusing on corporate transformation, enterprise planning and execution, project and change management, and executive engagement. On a personal note, I am married to a fellow Texan of Hispanic descent, and we share a passion for animal rescue, caring for our two fur babies, Lily and Logan."
We are proud to have leaders like Iris who exemplify the strength and importance of diversity in our workforce.
