At Kinetik, we’re driven by a simple but powerful mission: empowering care through connectivity. That mission starts at our core —through a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve and a culture that embraces equity, innovation, and collaboration. We know that to improve health equity in the non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) industry, we must first foster equity in our own workplace. That’s why we’ve built a culture centered on our core values: Be Collaborative, Be Curious, Be Just. These values guide how we lead, how we hire, and how we support one another every day.
Founded by a diverse team, Kinetik has prioritized building a workforce that reflects a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. From the start, our co-founders Sufian Chowdhury, Atif Hussain, and Mahbub Rahman have led with empathy, believing that listening to different perspectives is essential to successfully building a stronger, more equitable company.
“Perspective matters. The more voices we include, the better we build. Diversity isn’t just the right thing to do — it’s what drives innovation and makes great companies possible,” said Sufian Chowdhury, CEO.
We hire the best people, wherever they are located. Across the United States, and globally, our team brings a mix of experiences and perspectives that help us continue to grow and think differently. Whether they’re working remotely or in person at the Kinetik office, our team members care about maintaining and growing an inclusive culture. This shared commitment unites us and is how we turn big ideas into real impact for the communities we serve.
Regarding Kinetik’s leadership team, 75% of our leaders are people of color or women. This statistic is substantially higher than the average amongst corporations, where only 28% of people of color or women hold leadership roles. This demonstrates our dedication to ensuring that diverse perspectives and experiences are present at all levels of the organization, starting with leadership.
