We Are One Optiv

“When we feel recognized, represented and respected, we do our best work and create the greatest value for our clients. That’s why diversity, equity and inclusion is part of our company DNA. From our company values and core competencies, to our employee resource groups and how we think, talk, act and aspire to be, employees with diverse backgrounds, identities, and thoughts provide unique perspectives that help differentiate us as a leading cyber advisory and solutions partner.”

Kevin Lynch
