Kim E. Brooks
Change management manager, UL Solutions
What are your favorite things about working for UL Solutions?
I have enjoyed trying new roles, departments and experiences that fueled my growth as an engineer, leader, safety ambassador and community supporter. I have enjoyed traveling around the world for training or to evaluate products for customers.
I love volunteering to support the organization — organizing employee events, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity service days, being a Safety Smart Ambassador and participating in process improvement projects. It allows me to establish well-rounded connections across the company for a great cause.
I’ve had the privilege of teaching public technical workshops and facilitating various UL University courses. These experiences helped to solidify my passion for training and development.

What are your favorite things about working at UL Solutions?
There are two things I’ve always appreciated about working at UL Solutions, the first is the level of cooperation and support that we provide to each other driven by our mission of working for a safer world, and the second is the investment that the company has always made on talent development. I’ve become a much better version of myself due to the opportunities I’ve gotten while working at UL Solutions.
Rohit Jacob
Director of finance, real estate and facilities
What are your favorite things about working for UL Solutions?
I love the global aspect of the company, which has locations in 35 countries. In real estate, we interact with all of those people. Every week, I talk to people from many different backgrounds and countries.
When I started thinking about working here, I asked my kids to find 100 things with UL Marks in our house. It wasn’t that hard. Everywhere you look, you can see the impact of our work.
People care very much about the work here, and it’s not something they do just to pay the bills. People are generally excited to be a part of something bigger.
