SILICON SLOPES, Utah, October 2, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today Domo (Nasdaq: DOMO) announced that Suyesh Karki, the company’s chief information security officer and vice president of enterprise IT, has been recognized by Utah Business as a 2024 Living Color Award honoree. The Living Program The Color Award recognizes individuals and organizations for their efforts to bring greater equality and inclusion to the State of the Bees.
A native of Nepal, Suyesh Karki immigrated to Utah in 2001 to attend Brigham Young University, where he experienced firsthand the challenges that come with entering a largely homogenous community. Recognizing Karki’s personal mission to affect positive change and empower minorities in Utah, the Living Color Awards celebrate Karki’s efforts to mentor Nepalese and other immigrants, guiding them through American universities, becoming providing young professionals valuable exposure and experience and hosting networking events to help raise scholarships for various students in need.
In addition to his important roles at Domo, Karki is deeply committed to the company’s DEI initiatives, where he focuses on educating employees about his culture and experiences as a member of the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community.
“It is a great privilege to see people’s lives change when they are given an opportunity to succeed,” said Karki. “I know that having a mentor from an AAPI background would have made a huge difference in creating opportunities for me. As Utah’s diverse community continues to grow, we can help keep those doors open. “
Karki also helped found the Ama Foundation, which provides safe shelter, food and education to homeless children and youth who are vulnerable to serious harm, including human trafficking. Through this foundation, Karki has helped several students migrate to the United States, including a young woman who came to Park City, Utah, after living in the Ama Foundation home in Nepal since she was four years old.
“Suyesh is an incredible leader at Domo, and we celebrate the work he is doing to create opportunities for underrepresented groups in the community and beyond,” said Madison McCord, CHRO at Domo. “His commitment to promoting diversity and mentorship is a valuable asset to Domo as we continue to foster an inclusive culture where all voices are recognized, developed and amplified.”
This is the sixth year for the Living Color Awards, which are a joint partnership between Living Color Utah and Utah Business. Living Color Utah is commissioned by the Salt Lake City Corporation and organized through the state’s ethnic chambers to provide resources and networking opportunities for diverse communities.
