About Diverse Lynx
Founded in 2002, Diverse Lynx is a leading provider of IT and healthcare staffing solutions. Headquartered in New Jersey, the company has expanded into a global enterprise with a presence across the USA, Canada, UK, EU, Philippines, and India. With a workforce of over 2,000 employees and women holding more than 50% of leadership roles, Diverse Lynx is deeply committed to diversity and inclusion. As a woman-owned business, it has built a reputation for delivering top-tier talent and innovative workforce solutions, helping organizations meet their staffing needs while fostering a culture of growth, diversity, and excellence.
What does being a minority business, or supporting minority businesses, mean to you?
At Diverse Lynx, being a woman-owned business is not just a designation—it embodies our core values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It means breaking barriers, amplifying the voices of women in leadership, and creating pathways for underrepresented groups to thrive. With over 50% of leadership roles held by women, we strive to foster an environment where diverse perspectives are celebrated and innovation is driven by inclusion.
As a minority business, we actively recruit from underserved communities, helping individuals find their dream jobs and creating pathways to success for those facing the greatest barriers. We’ve proudly partnered with a school dedicated to helping girls in underprivileged areas graduate high school, reinforcing the importance of creating opportunities for those who need them most. This experience has deepened our commitment to supporting minority businesses and communities.
I find myself continuously learning from these different individuals and communities while helping them realize their potential and create opportunities where they may not have existed before.
How has being certified with the NMSDC helped your business?
Being certified with the NMSDC has been instrumental to Diverse Lynx’s growth and success. This certification has opened doors to a vast network of corporate partners and opportunities that align with our values of diversity and inclusion. It has enhanced our credibility as a minority-owned business and allowed us to connect with like-minded organizations that are committed to fostering diversity in their supply chains. For over 20 years, we’ve benefited from networking, meaningful conversations, and personal connections within the NMSDC community.
Through the NMSDC, we’ve gained access to resources and collaboration opportunities that have helped us innovate, expand our reach, and build impactful partnerships. The certification has been a catalyst for growth, empowering us to better support our mission of creating pathways for underrepresented talent and reinforcing our commitment to giving back to communities.
What is one thing you wish you had known when you were starting out in your career?
I wish I had known the importance of staying curious, always being open to learning, and never becoming complacent. Curiosity is a powerful driver—it pushes you to question, explore, and go beyond your comfort zone. The most successful people aren’t those who know everything but those who seek to know more and surround themselves with others who are knowledgeable.
In today’s fast-paced, ever-evolving world, continuous learning is crucial for long-term success. Industries—whether technology, healthcare, or business—are rapidly changing, making it essential to keep skills sharp and knowledge current. Embracing a mindset of lifelong learning helps you stay ahead, remain competitive, and seize opportunities that others might miss.
Curiosity not only enhances problem-solving abilities but also builds resilience, allowing you to adapt to change with confidence. Whether learning a new technology, attending workshops, or seeking mentorship from diverse perspectives, there’s always something new to discover.
By staying curious and consistently learning, you not only future-proof your career but also unlock endless potential for innovation and personal fulfillment.
