King joined Transact in November 2021 to help drive the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) vision and strategy. Since joining the organization, she's made meaningful strides ranging from defining the organization’s Guiding Principles to launching employee resource groups and executing company-wide education opportunities. She believes a focus on CSR and enabling a positive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) environment helps to improve overall organizational performance, with benefits such as improving client and investor relations, building brand value and reputation, and fostering an empowered, engaged workforce. She understands it’s critical to build a diverse and inclusive workplace to foster an organizational mindset for innovation, adaptability, and growth.

As part of her work, King has spearheaded workplace DE&I interactive learning/heritage social events, four Transact Employee Resource Groups (ERG), and the Transact Diversity Internship program. She’s also coordinated community events including Carry the Load, Letters for Literacy, 9/11 National Day of Giving, U.S. Marines Toys for Tots, and a cross-country food bank volunteer event in partnership with Transact ERGs.

“I’m thrilled to receive this honor from the Stevie organization,” said King. “Our accomplishments in the past year across the Transact culture of innovation and accountability showcase the need for DEI efforts and embrace the evolution in this changing environment. We are proud of all of our solutions, and the efforts our company is making to excel. We hope to inspire all companies to start and drive DEI initiatives and continue to lead them to embrace the full workforce.”
