Two Truths & A Tall Tale: A Zebra Technologies Podcast

Episode 5 | A Way to Speak Without Speaking

This month, we feature Kally Kang-Kersey, VP, Global Talent & Organizational Development. 

"I have been at Zebra for over 14 years and have had the opportunity to do many things, from being an HR lead for EMEA to working on key global strategic initiatives like Inclusion & Diversity, Employee Value, Talent Management and Leadership and Employee Learning. I’ve seen the company grow from strength to strength and I love being able to help emerging, talented people fulfill their potential. It is exciting to have the opportunity to connect people from all over the globe and work with a diverse and engaging group of colleagues. These opportunities have allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the strategies designed to create the best working environments.

 

Outside of work, I am a passionate Tottenham Hotspur supporter and I have a great love of the arts, from theatre to film and music, which I get to enjoy with my two daughters."

Episode 4 | An Introvert Finds His (Public Speaking) Voice

This month, we feature Mark Butler, a global partner manager who works remotely from his home office in Ohio. 

“I’ve been with Zebra since 2011. I love working with partners! I enjoy collaborating with them to help drive demand, solidify account control and increase their revenues. I have a different perspective than most after spending almost 11 years in end-user sales with a value-added Zebra reseller before transitioning into channel sales. That perspective has given me a deeper understanding of selling and addressing the industry related challenges that my partners face. I enjoy what I do and I'm passionate about my partners. However, when I'm not hard at work or spending time with my wife and kids, I enjoy cycling, listening to podcasts, learning about the latest gadgets, Irish whiskey, good bourbon or going for spirited drives on some nice twisty roads!”
