Michael Solomon
Early Talent Development Manager
Diversity, equity and inclusion are part of my DNA, which means I feel that we are stronger both as individuals and as a company when we base our overall decision-making by considering everyone’s perspectives. The remarkable growth and participation of our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and the work that has come out of these initiatives is a great example of how DEI has come to life for our company. It has been great to see our leadership team participate in the journey and make a tremendous effort to take DEI to the next level for Synovus.
Lisa Dupree
Senior Director, Business Excellence
I believe our diversity, equity and inclusion efforts have created a stronger sense of team member engagement and belonging. It impacts my work and everything we do due to the diversity of thought and backgrounds within my team. Coming together and collaborating elevates the end result and ensures we are thinking about the big picture from multiple perspectives. Diversity in race, gender, background, and upbringing helps us build high-performing teams that drive results.
Kate Finley
Director, Product Management
I’m thankful for the company’s constant reminders of the importance of different perspectives. Seeking to see through the eyes of others helps with relationship building and enables more effective communication during complicated problem solving. Additionally, I’m thankful for team members’ transparency regarding how they’ve managed challenges, improved themselves, and reached professional goals. In particular, our career-minded mothers are especially encouraging of each other. Our culture celebrates boldness and ambition while also affirming the beauty of personal lives.

For many of our leaders, we are all learning together how unconscious bias can unintentionally hold us back from a higher performance level. We’re helping to hold each other accountable and think differently about the way we build and engage our teams going forward. For me, I think I’m learning to ask better questions and to involve more people in decisions where I probably would not have before. This has helped me see the blind spots I may not have seen otherwise.
