In celebration of Veterans Day, our Panda community came together for “Honoring Service and Inspiring Leadership,” a meaningful conversation led by facilitator Billy To, CRFP, featuring panelists Andrew Munoz, Josh Hartman, and Robert Burgess, LTC(R), PMP. We were honored to welcome Dr. Tyshawn Jenkins, DBA, from the Wounded Warrior Project, who shared his powerful story of resilience, from overcoming personal tragedy and military challenges to becoming a leader and advocate for veterans. Dr. Jenkins reminded us of the importance of community, authentic leadership, and supporting mental wellness through empathy and belonging. Our panelists shared their own experiences of transitioning from military to civilian life, emphasizing the leadership values of “Mission First, People Always,” that deeply align with Panda’s culture of Belonging, Community, and Growth. A heartfelt thank you to all our veterans for your service, and to everyone who joined us in learning, reflecting, and honoring those who lead with courage both in and out of uniform. #VeteransDay #Leadership #WoundedWarriorProject

This AANHPI Heritage Month, we celebrated with the theme of “Becoming You: Honoring Heritage and Building Your Authentic Brand”, a reminder that our stories, cultures, and lived experiences are not just parts of us, but powerful tools for connection, leadership, and impact. This event, facilitated by Kevin Yang, brought together voices from across Panda, including our amazing leaders Irani Taslima, Claire Criste, and Sophia Desai, who shared their journeys of growth and what it means to lead with authenticity. From navigating cultural identity to creating space for others, their insights reflected the strength and diversity of the AANHPI community within Panda. We also welcomed Jerry Won, founder of Just Like Media, whose powerful message reminded us that when we embrace who we are and share our stories, we inspire others to do the same. Thank you to everyone who joined us in this celebration. Let’s continue to uplift each other, honor our heritage, and lead with authenticity not just this month, but every day. #AANHPIHeritageMonth #BecomingYou #AuthenticLeadership #BelongingAtPanda #Leadership #StorytellingMatters
