There once was a time when Kalyn Hove — now a regional senior VP for Comcast — felt like she couldn’t bring her authentic self to work. In an earlier sales role, she was the lone woman managing a team of men, all of whom who were older than her, she says in this episode of Off the Record.

“I seldom talked about my kids or anything like that because I was sitting with men (who had) stay-at-home wives,” Hove says. “I was fearful they would view me as less committed to my role and my job. What I realize now, in hindsight, is that I put that on myself.”

Hove dives into her career journey in this podcast with hosts Kathy Robideau, market president and publisher of Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, and Dave Faust, president and CEO of Platinum Bank. Listen to the episode to hear more about:

• How authenticity became Hove’s “why.”
• What Hove’s mother taught her about taking care of herself.
• Offering guidance and/or resources to younger team members to help them with caretaking and family responsibilities.
• Visiting South Dakota’s tourist attractions.
• Comcast’s initiatives to bridge the digital divide and address inequities in internet access.
• Hove’s mentors at Comcast and in the Twin Cities business community.

Leaders like Hove understand the value of moving quickly and acting creatively, just like Platinum Bank. Learn more about business banking with a different kind of bank.
