Alex Mark

Director of Migration Technology

SYNERGISTIC INNOVATION

Making finance fun, agile and innovative

To Alex Mark, ‘synergy’ isn’t a buzzword. It’s what he works to optimize as MassMutual’s director of migration technology. Whether it’s sunsetting a legacy company platform or transitioning from another organization’s tech stack through a merger or acquisition, he aims to make these shifts as synergistic as possible. Mark, who has a background in both tech and finance, said, “What makes MassMutual different in fintech is that it gives you a place to innovate.” He added, “Our agile mindset allows us to quickly pivot in the industry. The way we look at finance is fun, agile and innovative.”

The culture here is great, especially if you’re a dev or into tech — there are tons of growth resources available to you. MassMutual does a great job of serving customers while also encouraging employees to think outside the box and innovate.

Personal Growth

Observing trends and solving problems

Asieh Ahani leads the data analytics team at MassMutual. Her team is constantly observing the latest industry trends so they can solve problems at scale and track the impact on the organization. Her team, she said, “is empowered to harness technology to drive data-driven decision-making.” When it comes to what sets MassMutual apart, Ahani said her team and the company overall value iterative progress for self-improvement on professional growth, wellness and work-life balance.

I joined MassMutual because the type of projects my team was working on were very interesting and aligned with my interests and expertise in leveraging data science. I stayed because I had a great career path here.

Kymberly Terry

Digital Team Lead

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Supporting colleagues and celebrating wins

As a digital team lead at MassMutual, Kymberly Terry knows the value of creating strong cross-functional connections in a product team. One of the best experiences with that she had, she said, was the rotating DEI discussion groups that were intentionally made up of people from different teams and weren’t led by managers. “A scrum expert could be having a conversation with a product manager from a different team. It was another way to support your colleagues and celebrate their wins and to know where they might be having challenges,” she said. “It was also a catalyst for equity.”

One of the things that I appreciate the most about being a part of my team is really the inclusive culture. It's ingrained in every aspect of not only the work that we do, but also the way we interact with each other.
