Hema Look on What’s my why

Hema Look, Vice President of People Business Partners (PBPs), joined Nutanix back in 2016. Hema works with a global team of trusted advisors who align the functional talent strategies to the business strategies. The team of People Business Partners works with senior leadership to provide data-driven insights and expertise on their organizational and talent matters.

We sat down with Hema recently to discuss her cause of choice, the Cops Care Cancer Foundation (CCCF), a nonprofit organization based in San Jose, CA:

CCCF is a volunteer run non profit foundation that raises money for children who are stricken with cancer. The foundation was founded by Brian Simuro, who is now a retired San Jose Police Officer that experienced childhood cancer.

Year round fundraising efforts all lead up to the annual Fantasy Flight event. CCCF transforms the San Jose Police airport hangar into a Winter Wonderland and creates a fun and safe space for families to enjoy a day without disease. CCCF calls these honored guests our VIPs.

CCCF partners with the local law enforcement and fire safety agencies to create a caravan of emergency vehicles that transport the VIPs to the event. Their special guest, Santa, arrives mid afternoon via helicopter and distributes gifts to the VIPs and their siblings from their own wish list.
