hello, my name is
Karlyn Percil

As the CEO of KDPM Consulting Group, Karlyn Percil is passionate about creating workspaces where all women can thrive, especially Black, Indigenous, women of colour. Through her company, KDPM Consulting Group Inc. she is helping companies convert their diversity and inclusion strategies into small micro-actions and inclusive leadership behaviours that reflect the organization’s mission, vision and culture. She is also the founder of SisterTalk Global, a diverse women’s network, and recently launched AmplifyHer2020 — a movement designed to amplify the voices of Black, Indigenous and self-identifying women of colour by sharing their stories and increasing their digital footprint. Her latest project, The Transition, is a leadership and interview series on leading change with the brain and human potential in mind.
She’s using her Perspectives platform to highlight the stories and voices of BIWOC thought leaders in the tech and well-being space, who through their innovative work are inspiring the next generation of leaders.
from her perspective
There is an egregious lack of representation of Black, Indigenous, and Women of Color (BIWOC) in the C-Suite industry. In order to accelerate the advancement of BIWOC, organizations must ensure that there are specific strategies, designed through the lens of intersectionality and lived experiences, to address the lack of representation in the C-Suite and in board rooms.
