LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Support goes a long way

Michael Kennemer has seen a lot throughout his eight-year run at Invitae. “I’ve been able to challenge myself and try a lot of different roles,” he said, recalling the added bonus of working cross-functionally with a number of teams. Because the organization made ample space for his professional development over the years, Kennemer views his current leadership role as an outlet to pay it forward. “I want to make sure I’m giving people on my team the support they are looking for so that they have those opportunities as well,” he said.

It’s my goal as a leader to support the people on my team who are looking for opportunities to expand their skill set and work on interesting things.

LEARN BY DOING

Seek out the tools needed to grow

Whenever Kim Leroux suggested to Invitae leadership that something needed to be done — whether a change, an update or a solution — the response was always fully supportive. Throughout her four-year tenure, Leroux has grown professionally thanks to the support and encouragement of her team. When it comes to figuring out new methods and solving novel problems, she finds the best answer is to learn by doing. “We’ve always been given the tools to succeed and been able to try things out,” she said.

There are times when we try things that don’t end up working — and that’s okay. We re-pivot, learn and try again.

RESOLVE BY COLLABORATING

A resilient team effort to navigate solutions

As one of the members of Invitae’s software services and support team, Dan Rustan is quick to describe the work he does as “innovative.” Because the team is newer, it’s important for Rustan to tap into the support of his colleagues when the work gets tough. “They’re incredible at what they do, and they never give up; no challenge is too hard,” he said. When problems do arise, Rustan and his team shift their perspective. Rather than getting “bogged down,” they collectively uncover potential solutions.

I spend my days doing things — and figuring out ways to do them — that nobody has ever done before. It’s exciting, challenging and very fulfilling.
