If you’ve been following along on the HeroX journey with us then this face certainly needs no introduction. Kal K. Sahota, our President and CEO, truly embodies what it means to be a leader. A mentor and coach to all of us here, she’s been at the forefront of ensuring we’re all successful well before it was a part of her formal role. The value Kal has brought to HeroX is immeasurable as we continue to prosper over her careful watch.
Prior to joining HeroX, Kal’s focus was in the financial services industry for over 25 years. The various roles throughout her ‘life before HeroX’ shaped her into the successful business leader she is today. You can read more about Kal’s journey to HeroX here.
So, what does Kal enjoy about being a part of Team HeroX?
“The authenticity of who we are to one another. We are in service of one another, in service of our clients and in service of our partners. We have a culture which encourages you to show up at every discussion with your listening, with respect, with an open mind and being a stand for one another's success at all times.
There's genuine care for one another.
Titles exist so our roles and responsibilities are clear...that said, we operate very much as a flat org chart. Everyone's contributions are valued, there's no one person that's more important than another...regardless of your role or tenure. We are equals, standing shoulder to shoulder at the best of times, and behind one another as a show of support and strength when needed. We have each other's backs.
Our mission at HeroX aligns perfectly with my insides and who I am. HeroX will change the world one challenge, one innovator and one moment at a time. I feel blessed to be a part of such an amazing team of humans who leave me feeling inspired every day. I'm thankful for the opportunity to contribute and for the journey. A journey, so far, which has been both rewarding and humbling. At HeroX, we believe that everything is possible....and ‘Impossible is Nothing'.”
When Kal isn’t paving the way here at HeroX she’s all about family and embracing the simple things in life. When you are up to big things, it’s not always easy to keep things balanced. The lines between home life and work life can blur very quickly. Keeping her family’s health, happiness in the forefront of her mind is something that’s always been so important to her. One way she enjoys expressing that care is through her love of preparing well thought out and hopefully tasty meals for her family! She finds that her love of music has a way of bringing calm to her hectic schedule and soothing her soul.
Staying fit is more than just about vitality for her, basic strength training supports her overall mind and body health. It also creates space in her mind to explore new ideas.
We are so grateful to have Kal and look forward to watching her continue to break glass ceilings for many years to come.
