BayOne Throughline Thursdays

While the world celebrates the lives and experiences of 'born leaders', leadership is, in fact, an acquired skill-set. People in leadership positions must model themselves to adapt and react to ever-changing business environments while simultaneously creating circumstances for their teams to excel and outperform. Myopic vision and execution just won't do, leaders have to develop a 360-degree world-view to lead organizations into the future.
Travis Killion, the Vice President of e-commerce at VitaminWorld, has discovered that being a multi-dimensional leader allows his teams to work better and have more satisfying outcomes. Travis has worked in tech, product management, and business in small and large companies. Join us for this episode of Throughline Thursdays with Neha Malhotra to catch the conversation on how he’s developed his personal leadership style.

Travis Killion is currently the Vice President of eCommerce at Vitamin World. Over a quarter-century working with Internet technologies, Travis has held roles in business management, product management, and technology management.

Whether it is the language of digital transformation, or the language of diversity, driving change across large teams can be very complex. Especially in companies that have been around for a while, people across the organizational hierarchy are more or less set in their ways. Leaders must facilitate integration across diverse teams with a lot of skill and tact.
Our guest on this episode of Throughline Thursdays, Kristin Coleman, Executive Director for CCB Diversity & Inclusion at JPMorgan Chase, is going to share with us how the company is learning the language of diversity. Every leader can take a leaf out of her book for their own transformation efforts.

She supports key diversity initiatives globally that are designed to increase diverse representation and promote a culture of inclusion and belonging.
