At SAIC, we embrace the diverse cultures, heritages and traditions of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. The peoples of the AAPI community have made important contributions to the history and success of our nation, and they continue to do so today. As we celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, we asked a few of our colleagues to share their personal stories, cultural experiences and influences.
Our 10 SAIC team members featured in the videos below come from rich and diverse backgrounds and work in different and varied parts of SAIC. They are a vital part of SAIC’s continuing success both as a company and in supporting our customers and took time to talk about their heritage, careers and leadership, overcoming adversity, self-improvement and empowerment and respect for all cultures.
