" The ROI of Giving Back" with Denise Lombard
Career math can be daunting for business careers. Often hard numbers take precedence over more subtle emotions like energy and joy. Our guest for this episode of Throughline Thursdays is Denise Lombard, Director of Responsible Procurement (Risk, Ethics, Social/ Economic/ Environmental), Global Procurement Services at Cisco.
Denise works closely with young women in under-served communities through the 'Women at Cisco Employee Resource Group' to expose them to STEM careers as well as is an advocate for foster children through Child Advocates of Silicon Valley. Her “day job” is spent advocating for diverse suppliers, suppliers owned by minorities, women, or veterans, and in her experience, the ROI of Giving Back is unmistakable. The more you give to the causes you are passionate about, the more you get back in the form of renewed commitment, meaning, and energy. Professional success and passion go hand in hand.
Denise currently leads Responsible Procurement, ensuring that the suppliers Cisco engages with are committed to the highest standards of social, economic, and environmental issues as well as adhere to their ethics and code of conduct. Through this role, Denise applies her passion for social responsibility and her goal of making a significant difference within Cisco and the community. Denise also co-leads the SJ Women of Cisco’s Community Outreach pillar, which is focused on increasing young women's excitement and awareness around Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math careers.
