TOM MARKLEY | GLOBAL CLIENT EXECUTIVE AT EY
What do you love most about your job?
Being part of a high performing, collaborative team. My EY colleagues are intelligent, innovative, and supportive, and I’m lucky to work with such an amazing group of people. I’m a big believer in bidirectional mentorship, which is an important part of our team culture. I have the opportunity to grow personally and professionally while helping others do the same; feeling that I’ve had even a small hand in helping someone realize their full potential is truly humbling.
Another highlight is the relationship building that comes with being in a client-facing role. My work allows me to innovate and feel challenged every single day, and it’s a great feeling to know I’m right where I want to be.
What are the biggest obstacles you see for young women in the media, entertainment and/or technology industries?
Industry bias, the lack of female recognition in the field, and gender gaps in pay. While there are strides being made, we’re not close enough to addressing all the hurdles women in tech face, and I can imagine it’s quite daunting to young women considering careers in the industry.

I’ve also witnessed my female colleagues and my wife face scrutiny as working mothers that working fathers aren’t subject to. It’s so important for men to be conscious of microaggressions and act as allies, celebrating the accomplishments of their female colleagues instead of unwittingly criticizing them. 
Since March 2020 I've learned...
How much my wife manages between her full-time job and parenting our three boys, including advocating for our nine-year old autistic son. Spending so much more time at home during the pandemic allowed me to see firsthand all she manages on the home front while also maintaining a successful career.

I’ve also learned how important it is to prioritize wellness. Experiencing some of the unique stressors of the Covid-19 pandemic bumped both physical and mental fitness up the priority list, and my wife and I now make it a point to exercise every day and take mindfulness breaks. I’ve even started journaling this year, which is a lifetime first!
