Kami Bond is the Senior Vice President of People at Uptake, a Chicago-based predictive analytics company that was recently valued at over $2 billion and was considered one of Forbes' hottest startups in America.

She has been in the human capital space for about 20 years in technology or technology-enabled professional services organizations and is now a dedicated career-mom. In this episode of The Culture Gap, Kami talks about the importance of being authentic and real and about the need to develop the people in your team and organization. She discusses the possibility of pushing yourself to things beyond the limits you thought you could reach for and how a mismatch between the culture of an organization and individual values can result in a loss for both parties. Welcome to Culture Gap.   Key Takeaways: [:43] Daniel introduces his guest for this episode — Kami Bond. [1:43] Who is Kami Bond? [2:35] What are some of Kami's deepest held personal values? Who are some of the leaders that have shaped the some of the values that Kami brings to her organization as a leader? [4:54] Kami has had a long career of working with diverse companies.

[24:52] In her career, Kami has been a champion to minimize and eliminate gender and diversity gaps inside organizations. While progress has been made, how much further do we have to go?
