Amy gives practical tips for aligning the goals of the DEI strategy with company’s overall business strategy. She can include samples of learning modules companies can use to familiarize employees with mitigating bias, strengthening trust amongst teammates, and building psychological safety. Amy is actively working in this field as Cohesity develops programs and initiatives to build a culture of belonging, ensuring employees are comfortable leveraging their unique experiences, backgrounds, and skills to achieve our business objectives. The focus of Cohesity’s DEI initiatives is to increase female and underrepresented talent, and create a culture of inclusion and belonging.
At Cohesity, we believe innovation is born in environments that are representative of diverse people from different cultures, geographies, and backgrounds. A key factor in the company’s recent successful DEI transformation is its DEI council, made up of a diverse group of global employees, representing all departments. Since its launch in October 2021, the DEI council continues to propel Cohesity forward in terms of educating employees. Of course, awareness alone won’t drive action or change. It’s building awareness that will also ensure all employees understand that hiring a diverse workforce, giving all employees equitable opportunities, and fostering an inclusive workplace are the right things to do for the company, making us more competitive in the market.
Amy Cappellanti-Wolf is chief human resources officer of Cohesity.
Amy Cappellanti-Wolf grew up in a close-knit Italian family in West Virginia, the child of first-generation immigrants. Her father owned a restaurant, where he worked six days a week, roping in young Amy and her siblings at every chance. What she lacked in big family vacations, Cappellanti-Wolf made up for in a strong work ethic. After graduating from West Virginia University with a degree in journalism, she went on to earn a master’s in industrial and labor relations. That was where she found her fascination with HR.
A global IT firm headquartered in San Jose, California, Cohesity has offices around the world, including in India and Ireland. But a vast majority of its roughly 1,200 employees opt to work from home. The hybrid work environment has proven successful at the company so far. But chief human resources officer Amy Cappellanti-Wolf noted in an interview with Senior Executive Media earlier this year that it’s an evolving challenge all workplace leaders are grappling with.
