About the Founder

Orly Lynn

With over 15 years of experience in the corporate world, I founded Ascendit! to create innovative solutions for workforce readiness and professional development, particularly focusing on empowering the next generation of leaders.

 

My journey spans the financial services and tech sectors, where I excelled as a diversity executive leader. After completing my undergraduate studies, I embarked on a career in financial services, quickly rising through the ranks due to my innovative approaches and leadership acumen. As I navigated the corporate landscape, I transitioned into the tech industry, bringing with me a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective on talent development.Throughout my career, my passion for cultivating top talent, especially among women, has been a driving force. This dedication led me to create the HerSuccess Coaching Circle, a pioneering initiative that paved the way for more comprehensive career development programs.

 

At Ascendit!, I've leveraged my extensive experience to develop Success Pathways. This innovative curriculum builds on my previous work, designed to bridge the critical gap between academia and industry. By preparing students for the nuanced challenges of the modern workplace, Success Pathways embodies my commitment to fostering the next generation of industry leaders.

As a subject matter expert, coach, and facilitator, I leverage my expertise to support individuals in unlocking their full potential and breaking through barriers to advancement. My work addresses the systemic challenges that often leave talented individuals untapped in organizations. Through Ascendit!, I offer tailored solutions that empower students and professionals alike to reach and thrive in leadership positions. My commitment to innovation in professional development continues to shape the future of work, one partnership at a time.
