Leading with Yes, Zinkerz CIO Karly Burke

Karly is the Chief Information Officer at Zinkerz an academic tutoring, test prep and admissions counseling company. Karly is a leader who has consistently pushed boundaries in education and technology to create meaningful change.   Her journey began after earning her degrees, working in public relations for a major company. She quickly recognized that the industry often prioritized competition over collaboration, which led her to pivot. She applied last-minute to Boston College's Graduate School of Education, earned her master's, and then returned to the classroom at Newton North High School.  During her time home with her daughter and then her son, she continued to support students by writing content for test prep companies. It was during this period that she discovered Zinkerz, a startup focusing on online education.  On this episode Karly shares more on her journey, how she continues to help her company grow and fosters a culture of "leading with yes" always encouraging her team to try to think of ways we can make things happen, instead of reasons why we cannot.  Welcome to Zinkerz
