Here at Commvault, we believe that celebrating diversity and amplifying voices from various backgrounds fosters a richer, more inclusive environment.

To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month across our global Vaulter community, our Multi-Culture and Women in Technology Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) hosted an insightful and inspiring virtual event featuring acclaimed author Patricia Engel.

Patricia, a New York Times bestselling author, graced our Vaulter community with a keynote address that highlighted how her Colombian heritage and culture have shaped her worldview and influenced her celebrated writing career. Patricia treated us to a reading from her latest book, The Faraway World, a captivating collection of stories that explore the themes of belonging, migration, and identity.

During the conversation, Patricia shared deeply personal reflections on her experiences growing up in a bicultural household in New Jersey. She discussed how the contrasts between her Colombian upbringing at home and American society outside shaped both her perspective and her writing.

Patricia emphasized the significance of her immigrant community as a source of resilience and inspiration, touching on the complexities of identity, belonging, and the sacrifices made by those who leave their homeland in pursuit of a better future.

This event was a testament to Commvault’s commitment to creating spaces where different cultures, identities, and perspectives are celebrated. The discussion provided our Vaulters with a powerful perspective on how heritage can influence both personal and professional paths. Through thought-provoking discussions like these, we continue to promote understanding, appreciation, and inclusion within our community.

Hispanic Heritage Month reminds us of the power of storytelling to build connections and bridge gaps. It was a privilege to hear about Patricia’s journey, and we are proud to have created an opportunity for our global Vaulter community to engage with such an impactful voice.
