Dallas-based Kanarys, the Black- and female-founded diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) technology company, recently appointed Kendra Mack as vice president of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
Mack recently relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth area to lead Kanarys’ DEIB consulting practice. The firm said she is a dynamic speaker and expert facilitator committed to ensuring every employee feels valued.
Mack has a proven track record in DEIB and the firm said she has the experience to help create workplaces where everyone can thrive.
At the management consulting firm Korn Ferry, Mack advised Fortune 500 companies on their DEIB strategy, offering her firsthand experience with the challenges that come with creating more equitable workplaces.
Mack also worked with top companies including World Wide Technology and MGM Resorts International and helped develop corporate and executive learning and development programs at both organizations.
Via her keynotes and training programs, Mack shares insights and strategies that can help organizations build diverse and inclusive teams, develop cultural competency, and foster environments where every employee feels a sense of belonging, Kanarys said.
Kanarys recently closed its $5 million Series A round in February, which brought its total amount raised to $10.5 million.
With that funding round, Kanarys co-founder and CEO Mandy Price joined the fewer-than 20 Black female founders who have raised more than $10 million, and Kanarys became the first Black and female-founded company based in Texas to have raised more than $10 million.
Recently, Price was named an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year 2023 Southwest Award finalist.
