Together the organizations will work to provide professional visibility and advancement opportunities to female leaders in business across Canada
MARKHAM, ON, May 24, 2022 /CNW/ -- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), the largest IT infrastructure services provider in Canada and the world, and Women in Leadership (WIL), a professional advancement organization for women, today announced an agreement that names Kyndryl in Canada as WIL's first national exclusive partner. Through this unique partnership, Kyndryl will work with WIL to convene women across professions and industries for programs, events and speaking sessions that promote professional development and gender diversity in the workplace.
To kick off the partnership, Kyndryl and WIL will host the annual Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership Forum, a full day virtual event on June 1, 2022, that brings together thousands of women, including CEOs, C suite executives, public sector leaders, diversity experts, and thought leaders, to discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace.
Kyndryl will also join WIL as an exclusive Presenting Partner at its inaugural, signature series called "Women Powering Progress." The series will launch this September and offer a personal look into the journey of the C-suite women leaders who are customers of Kyndryl in Canada, and the knowledge they've gained throughout their careers. Together, Kyndryl and WIL are committed to supporting ongoing programming and events that advance women's professional development and networks and encourage their advancement in the workforce.

I can't wait to get started."
