Genuine, empathetic and passionate are the words that come to mind when I think about the time I worked for Kia. I had the pleasure of working for Kia in her capacity as Division VP for 3 years at Thermo Fisher Scientific during a challenging, enriching and educational time in my career. Kia is a leader who’s not only interested in the company’s top and bottom line, but also in her employees' as individuals and in their professional growth. When the HR team got together, it was business focused, inspiring and always lots of fun! Intelligent, bold, curious and resilient are some of the additional leadership qualities that I associate with her and how she led her team and the business. She was easy to work with, an excellent listener and very approachable. It's rare to work for such an exceptional leader and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kia for any professional endeavor.
Kia is profoundly driven by a passion to give of her very best, and rightly challenges all of those around her to do the same. Kia draws on extensive life and work experiences to enable her to cut through complexity very quickly to understand the challenges and opportunities in any group or organization. Kia thinks and operates at a tremendous speed which enables her to drive great results for people and the organizations she works with. It is a privilege to work with someone who you can absolutely trust to name her truth and articulate it with clarity. Kia is therefore someone who is regularly sought out for her wisdom and insights – and you can be sure to have some good laughs along the way.
