Winning as One Team

Thomas joined Parexel as part of Data and Technologies' inaugural internship program. From day one, he demonstrated a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn, and a commitment to excellence. Read how Thomas' experience as a U.S. Army Veteran has contributed to his career growth on Raba's team here at Parexel.

Thomas

IT Security Analyst and U.S. Army Veteran
"At Parexel, one of our guiding principles is 'Winning as ONE Team'. This is exactly what I had to do as a Blackhawk Helicopter Crew Chief in the U.S. Army. Each flight my other crewmembers and I had to ensure we worked together as one team to make it back safely and 'Win as One Team'. This skill of learning to work as part of a team toward a greater common goal is one of my skills I learned in the Army that I now bring to Parexel."

Raba

Senior Manager, IT Security
"Thomas' drive and dedication quickly set him apart, making the decision to offer him a full-time position an obvious choice. His internship experience allowed him to transition seamlessly, and he has already made a significant impact on our team. His ability to quickly adapt and contribute has been impressive, and we are excited about his potential in the technology and cybersecurity space. We look forward to witnessing Thomas's continued growth and future accomplishments at Parexel!"
