HeyHi! I'm glad you're here.

My name is Jake Alihan Kapusansky, and I pride myself on being have been described by my teammates as a visionary problem solver and leader who seeks to bring grand visions and change to life. Regarding my professional speaker. experience, I currently serve on various justice, equitywork at Paycom Silicon Valley, diversity, and inclusion advisory boards including developing new business throughout Northern California as an Account Executive within the Presidential Student Advisory Network HRIS (Human Resource Information System) and the College of Business DEI Committee through my start-up, Kap and Company: www.changewithkapandco.comPayroll industry.

This summerIn 2024, I worked graduated from Central Michigan University with my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, simultaneously being pinned as a Services Sales Intern at Dell Technologies, and over a 12-week period University Innovation Fellow throughout my junior year of rigorous project development and presentation(s), I learned the value of having someone believe in youundergraduate studies.

At DellThroughout my time at Uni, any idea I hadcompleted 3 sales-based internships (my Business Admin. degree centered on Marketing with a Concentration in Professional Sales); one at State Farm, thought throughin which I became THE Jake from State Farm; one at Dell Technologies, and in which I worked to develop was supported and championed. In congruence with my as a Services Sales trainingIntern (hybrid) in Austin/ Round Rock, I gained TX; and one at the confidence to create Paycom Indianapolis Sales Office in Monument Circle (a.k.a holistic business process that will be implemented into . the summer '23 cohort based on culture, diversity, and inclusion principlesheart of Indy or a 5 min. drive to Lucas Oil Stadium).

My personal mission is to create I loved every single one of these experiences, and maintain multiple streams I see the profession of problem-solving ideassales as a catalyst for learning, listening, building for connectivity and conversation, while also leaning into rejection and resilience. In one word, I'm looking to have a lasting proactive impact on long-term actionable changecreate intrinsic GRIT for whatever profession I end up moving into in my 30's and beyond (I'm currently 21).

To align with this My '''mission''' is to transform the way in which underrepresented populations are able to capitalize on economic opportunities within inequitable systems. For context, I began my life in an orphanage in 2020Yalutorovsk, RUS (I co-founded the Organization of Asian Leadersstand w. Ukraine), which aims and came to develop diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that support the Asian community in MtUnited States as an Adoptee when I was a baby. PleasantThis personal history has led me to combine business and social work within my current and future domains of expertise based on lived experience. As a champion of diversityI grew up, I continue struggled to develop science through tell my start-upstory, Kap and Company while in working through this challenging process, I mentor students to develop their personal & professional brands as became a high energy communicator that has now made a Resident Assistant profession out of telling and advisor listening to my communitiesstories.

While To align with this mission, in 2020, I currently reside in Mtco-founded the Organization of Asian Leaders (out of the asian hate that my community was experiencing at an unprecedented scale across the U.S. Pleasant), which aims to develop diversity, equity, MIand inclusion initiatives that support the Asian community at Central Michigan. As we developed the organization, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science we learned that it wasn't stopping hate that we could control or influence. What we could influence was COMMUNITY, and in Marketing doing so, we could build strategic alliances with a Professional Sales Concentration the other underrepresented communities within our campus's ecosystem while championing their causes in tandem with a minor in Information Systems at Central Michigan Universityours. This rapidly transformed the landscape of how students saw themselves and their organizations' ability to create self-representation while navigating the higher education environment. We fostered change through fundraising, carving out budgets for ourselves, speaking publicly/ protesting for our causes, and so much more.

My '''vision''' has always been to work myself out of organizations to make room for new leaders to emerge. I always say, praise in public, coach in confidence. If we can do these two things, we can bring the next generation of leaders to replace us while operating autonomously through our training and principles that we leave behind. Then they can become better than we ever were.  When I am not working(which I probably do too much of), I spend my time with my family and friends, eating, laughing, and having deep conversations about life. I love to watch movies, travel (just backpacked Europe with the money I made from starting my consulting company in college), read(fiction before bed and non-fiction when I wake up), write, and go for runs at a very very slow pace. This year, I completed my first ever half-marathon, and I plan to do a lot of backpacking and camping in NorCal over the next few years.
