"Kyle deserves to be recognized as a top Global Mobility leader for the incredible inspiration she is to her team, keeping them highly engaged and motivated despite their jobs being some of the most challenging in recent years. She also leads her peers and leadership with determination and grace, driving and influencing the best possible decisions and outcomes for our people no matter the circumstances. She's led her team to create, maintain and continuously raise the bar for a well-run, trustworthy and reliable mobility program at Cisco. Above and beyond the already demanding job to lead mobility for Cisco, Kyle is always thinking and working around the curve to ensure the safety of our talent. When global crisis hits — like the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict and Israel-Hamas war — Kyle is always ready with solutions and innovations to get our people and their families to a safe place. She cares so deeply for our people, she doesn't rest until she knows she's done everything in her power to provide the best possible support and experience no matter the circumstance. She rolls up her sleeves and handles escalations, calls employees and offers herself as a direct line of contact in especially challenging or sensitive cases, and gives so much of herself to be the kind, fearless representative of mobility at Cisco. At Cisco, you know you're not alone in your mobility journey, because Kyle and her team are there at every turn to help. On top of restlessly engaging within Cisco and our network of stakeholders to run a best-in-class mobility program, Kyle extends herself to stay close to her industry peers and industry best practices and others she knows will help her level up as a leader, and her team and program level up for Cisco. I've rarely met a leader as engaged in her own growth and development for the betterment of herself and her team. And with all this, Kyle honors above all else family and her life beyond Cisco, leading with a message of wellbeing and self-care to inspire us all. I truly hope Kyle is recognized with this honor as a token of appreciation and acknowledgement of the tireless, challenging work she does with utmost professionalism and exemplary modern leadership. From C-suite to our frontlines, Cisco trusts Kyle. My hope is that trust and appreciation is fairly reflected in her nomination. Thank you for your service, Kyle."
