For more than twelve years, Kyle Naser has dedicated himself to serving both his country and CACI’s mission. Today, he balances two demanding careers — serving in the Army National Guard while working at CACI as a customer satisfaction analyst with the company’s Operational Excellence team. His story reflects a deep sense of purpose, resilience, and commitment to continuous growth.

Naser’s journey began in August 2013, when he enlisted as a chaplain assistant in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Initially, his goal was straightforward: to use military service to help fund his education at Georgetown University. But after his assignment the following year to a Field Artillery Battalion, he decided to pursue a career as an Army officer.

“I really fell in love with the Redleg community,” he said. “That sense of camaraderie and purpose drew me in and ultimately pushed me to join ROTC and pursue a commission as a field artillery officer.”

Over the next decade, Naser built a distinguished military career marked by increasing responsibility and diverse operational experiences. His early roles included serving as a chaplain assistant before moving on to lead soldiers as a platoon leader in C Battery, 1‑108th Field Artillery. Following his first assignment, Naser served in a variety of roles across the Pennsylvania Army National Guard including fire direction officer, platoon leader, and fire support officer.

One of the defining experiences of his service came in 2024, when he deployed to the Horn of Africa as a joint operations liaison officer with Task Force Paxton. Each assignment prepared him for what he considers the most challenging role of his career: his current assignment as commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1‑108th Field Artillery.

While advancing in the military, Naser simultaneously built an impressive nine‑year career at CACI. He joined the company in 2017 as a background investigator before moving into a business analyst role with a Navy customer. He later served as a resource manager and, in October 2023, he transitioned into his current role as a customer satisfaction analyst, a position that allows him to support teams across the enterprise and help drive operational excellence.

“My work at CACI and my life in the military fuel one another,” Naser said. “I bring my training, discipline, and experience into everything I do at CACI, and the professional growth I’ve had here only sharpens me as a soldier. Having both careers has made me more adaptable, more capable, and more well‑rounded.”

Throughout his service, CACI has been a steadfast supporter of Naser’s military commitments. He recalled multiple periods of schooling, two National Training Center rotations, and his deployment, each requiring time away from the company. Even so, he never felt like he had to choose between his careers.

One moment stands out: he was hired into his current role just ten weeks before deploying to the Horn of Africa. His supervisor, Chris Trahant, recognized the value he would bring and supported him wholeheartedly despite the short window before his departure. In May 2024, Trahant received an Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve Patriot Award for his unyielding support during this time.

While overseas, the support continued as Trahant sent monthly updates to keep him informed about significant corporate and team changes. When he returned in January 2025, the Operational Excellence team welcomed him back warmly, allowing him to pick up right where he left off.

“I could not have asked for better support during that deployment,” he said. “My team reached out regularly, kept me updated on major changes, and made it clear that they cared about both my service and my return. That level of support meant more than they know.”

Today, Naser continues to serve with dedication, both as a leader in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard and as a valued member of CACI’s Operational Excellence team. His story highlights what’s possible when purpose, opportunity, and unwavering support come together, underscoring CACI’s commitment to empowering veterans to continue their mission, wherever it leads.

The Museum of Life and Science received a one-year-old male American black bear cub for its Explore the Wild: Black Bear habitat. The 110-pound cub joins the Museum’s two adult black bears, Little (5) and Murray (3).

Montana wildlife officials found the cub abandoned in December 2025 and determined him to be at certain risk of death over winter. Those officials then contacted the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), of which the Museum is a proud member, who reached out to the Museum to give him a home, thus ensuring his long-term wellbeing. To honor his native habitat and those wildlife officials who rescued him, the Animal Care Team has chosen to name the cub “Montana.” FedEx provided in-kind shipping to transport Montana and the presiding veterinarian to Raleigh-Durham International Airport as part of the company’s FedEx Cares Delivering for Good initiative.

“We are so appreciative of our partners at Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks, AZA, and FedEx,” Senior Director of Animal Care Sherry Samuels said. “The care and speed in which so many came together to make sure this cub was cared for is a testament to the amazing things that happen when people come together for a common good.”

The Museum of Life and Science has a long-standing commitment to wildlife conservation and education, and the introduction of the new bear cub aligns with this mission. The bear habitat in Explore the Wild provides a unique opportunity for visitors to witness the natural behaviors and social dynamics of these native creatures, reinforcing the importance of conservation efforts.

More than 20% of U.S. households speak a language other than English at home, with Spanish by far the most common. Families are also more likely to engage with educational materials when those resources are available in their first language.

That’s why PNC Crezca con Éxito, the Spanish-language identity for PNC Grow Up Great, has been keeping Spanish-speaking little learners and families top of mind since the company’s early childhood education initiative launched in 2004.

“PNC Grow Up Great has been a Spanish and English initiative since early on, with the reasoning that it was simply the right thing to do to help prepare children across our communities for success in school and life,” said Sally McCrady, chair and president of the PNC Foundation. “Since PNC also offered its products and services in both languages, it was important to model our early education initiative this way as well.”

Bilingual learning in action

Here are some examples of PNC Grow Up Great’s Spanish-language offerings and initiatives:

• New educational resources are launched each year in partnership with Sesame Workshop, the creators of Sesame Street, and they’re always created in English and Spanish. The latest offerings focus on sparking children’s curiosity and building school-readiness skills in everyday moments outdoors.
   
• The PNC Grow Up Great Lesson Center offers 150+ bilingual lesson plans for pre-K teachers and families of young children.
   
• Since 2021, PNC Grow Up Great has collaborated with the PBS Foundation to amplify many of these lessons on PBS LearningMedia, with each of the enhanced lessons and accompanying resources available in Spanish as well as English. This has significantly expanded the Spanish resources available on PBS LearningMedia, a reputable source of educational materials for parents and educators.
   
• PNC has been a proud sponsor of Fred Rogers Productions’ Alma’s Way since the PBS KIDS series launched in 2022. The show follows Alma Rivera, a confident 6-year-old Puerto Rican girl in the Bronx who learns self-awareness, empathy, and problem-solving by sharing her “way” of figuring things out with viewers.
   
• Since 2014, PNC Grow Up Great has supported the TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health at the University of Chicago on various aspects of their 3Ts program – Tune In, Talk More, and Take Turns. 3Ts resources, available in English and Spanish, foster knowledge and build skills that parents can use to promote foundational brain development in their children, and help them feel empowered as their child’s first teacher.
   
• PNC Grow Up Great shows up in local communities with an emphasis on Spanish and English – through the Mobile Learning Adventure, Be My Neighbor Day events and a variety of educational resources offered to families.
   
• Every April, when PNC celebrates “Great Month” as an opportunity to highlight PNC Grow Up Great, “Great Readers” resources are available in both English and Spanish. These enable PNC employee volunteers to read the Great Readers book to pre-K children in Spanish, and they get a Spanish-language copy to take home. Teachers also receive an accompanying classroom resource in Spanish to help bring the book to life.
   
• The PNC Grow Up Great website, fact sheet and online resources are available in Spanish and English.
   
• All paid media marketing campaigns are launched in both languages, like a recent campaign that further integrated PNC Grow Up Great into the company’s brand philosophy, highlighting the importance of boring in all that is brilliant. The campaign targeted the program’s audience of parents, educators and caregivers of children from birth through age 5 with memorable words and visuals, underscoring the importance of a strong foundation in helping a child succeed in school and life.

“For PNC Grow Up Great, bilingual offerings are about more than language,” said Julie Sudduth, PNC regional president for Greater Houston. “They reflect a broader commitment to supporting Spanish-speaking families across our communities and meeting families where they are, so every child has the opportunity to grow, learn and succeed.”

AMSTERDAM, HONG KONG, and OAKLAND, Calif., May 13, 2026 /3BL/ – Cascale and Worldly have released a new policy deep dive examining how evolving sustainability regulations are increasing demand for more standardized, interoperable data across global value chains. Using the expansion of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, particularly for textiles, as one example of this broader shift, the analysis explores the implications for the apparel, textile, and wider consumer goods industry.

A More Complex Global Regulatory Landscape

As governments introduce and expand sustainability regulations across product policy, disclosure, and lifecycle accountability, companies are facing a more complex and fragmented compliance environment. In the European Union, developments such as the revision of the Waste Framework Directive, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) are raising expectations for product-level transparency, lifecycle accountability, and consistent reporting systems. Similar momentum is building globally, with new and emerging EPR schemes taking shape across North America, Asia, and other regions.

Key Takeaways

• Textile EPR is one sign of a broader regulatory shift: Regulations are extending producer responsibility beyond packaging, accelerating requirements for lifecycle accountability across apparel and consumer goods.
• Data and traceability are now central: Companies are under growing pressure to deliver consistent, product-level data to respond to EPR requirements, digital product passports (DPP), and disclosure frameworks.
• Fragmentation is increasing complexity: Diverging rules across jurisdictions make compliance more resource-intensive, reinforcing the need for interoperable systems.
• Stronger data systems can unlock business value: Investments in data systems and supply chain visibility can improve decision-making and readiness for evolving regulations.
• Shared frameworks and methodologies are important to scale: Frameworks like the Higg Index can support standardized data and help translate complex policy requirements into more practical implementation approaches.

From Textile EPR to a Broader Data and Systems Challenge

While EPR has traditionally focused on packaging and plastics, its extension into textiles reflects a broader shift toward lifecycle responsibility — linking product design, material choices, and end-of-life outcomes with regulatory and financial implications.

“Textile EPR is one clear example of how rapidly the regulatory landscape is evolving, and companies are being asked to manage increasingly complex requirements across multiple jurisdictions,” said Gabriele Ballero, public affairs manager at Cascale. “For Cascale members and the wider consumer goods industry, this is a strong signal that the conversation is shifting from reactive compliance to more strategic, system-level approaches. The focus now needs to be on aligning how data is collected and used across value chains so it is consistent, comparable, and can be reused across different regulatory requirements. Companies that invest in this kind of alignment will be better positioned not only to respond to regulation, but also to reduce duplication, improve coordination, and make more informed decisions.”

“Companies are under growing pressure to report on regulatory requirements with consistent, actionable data,” said JR Siegel, vice president of sustainability at Worldly. “Scalable technology and aligned data frameworks are essential. By connecting product and facility-level insights in one platform, we can help businesses streamline reporting, improve data quality, and better integrate sustainability into core business decision-making.”

Turning Complexity into Action

As regulatory expectations become more connected and data-intensive, shared frameworks and methodologies become increasingly important. Cascale and Worldly help organizations navigate this complexity through tools and methodologies, such as the Higg Index. By supporting standardized data collection, verification, and analysis at both the product and facility level, these tools can help translate fragmented regulatory requirements into actionable insights and more efficient implementation.

In tandem with existing frameworks, Worldly’s Product Impact Calculator also helps brands meet France’s Affichage Environmental eco-labeling requirement. Brands have already used it to model impact for more than 400,000 products, with all eight mandatory data parameters already captured in the platform, so companies can act now without building new data pipelines.

While the expansion of EPR introduces new reporting and operational demands, it also presents an opportunity. Investments in data systems and supply chain visibility can improve internal decision-making, reduce duplication, and strengthen readiness for evolving regulatory and market expectations.

As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, including through the expansion of textile EPR schemes, Cascale and Worldly encourage companies to take a proactive approach by strengthening data capabilities, aligning with industry frameworks, and preparing for a more connected and data-driven regulatory landscape.

NEWARK, N.J., May 13, 2026 /3BL/ – Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG), a predominantly regulated energy infrastructure company serving approximately 2.4 million electric and 1.9 million natural gas customers in New Jersey, has once again been named to the Dow Jones Best-in-Class North America Index (formerly Dow Jones Sustainability Index) for the 18th consecutive year.

This recognition highlights how PSEG cares for the people and communities we serve, and how our business strategy and operations guide that care.

The Dow Jones Best-in-Class North America Index from S&P Global recognizes companies for their long-term environmental performance, sustainability practices and community and workforce support.

“Being recognized on the Dow Jones Index again this year reinforces PSEG’s longstanding commitment to sustainable practices in its operations,” said Rick Thigpen, senior vice president for corporate citizenship. “By respecting the environment, caring for our communities and developing our workforce we are taking steps to help create a stronger and more resilient future for everyone. This recognition continues to highlight that our value creation mission which starts with operational excellence and financial discipline continues to be enhanced by practices that further stakeholder alignment and community engagement.”

PSEG’s focus on sustainable operations

PSEG continues to focus on sustainability, including energy efficiency and biodiversity. Recent examples of sustainability-related work include:

• Expanding energy efficiency programs that help customers save energy and save nearly $960 million per year
• Continuing to operate PSEG’s nuclear plants in South Jersey, which provide over 80% of New Jersey’s carbon-free generation and 40% of New Jersey’s total energy
• Continuing work that has reduced operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. PSEG previously achieved a 95 percent reduction in Scope 1 and 2 operational GHG emissions from the 2005 baseline through strategic initiatives such as retiring older fossil generation, divesting remaining fossil assets, modernizing the gas system, upgrading equipment and improving efficiency across facilities
• A vegetation management program that incorporates biodiversity initiatives such as pollinator habitat protection and tree plantings

How PSEG takes care of communities

PSEG aims to deliver safe, reliable energy and be thoughtful about how we show up for New Jersey. PSEG’s work to support the communities we serve includes:

• Launching a Community Relief Initiative together with the PSEG Foundation that distributed grants to over 25 local organizations that provide critical assistance including energy assistance, housing relief and food assistance to households facing economic hardship
• Donating approximately $12.8 million to local charitable causes in 2025 through the PSEG Foundation and corporate giving initiatives aligned with our Corporate Social Responsibility priorities
• Contributing approximately $2.4 billion in spending to New Jersey’s economy in 2025.

And we fight for our customers: recently FERC delivered good news agreeing with PSE&G that a settlement signed by all PJM Transmission Owners except PSE&G would unfairly shift transmission costs on to New Jersey customers. We work hard to keep costs as low as possible and this includes advocating for policies that make sense for the people of New Jersey.

How PSEG supports and develops our workforce

PSEG also continues to support our approximately 13,000-person workforce. We aim to build a sustainable pipeline of career-ready talent in skilled trades and critical roles, strengthening community relationships and supporting future business needs. This work includes:

• Efforts to advance workplace safety and create a safety-first mindset that allows all our employees to go home from work the same way or better than they arrived
• Ongoing support of career development, reskilling and building connections that attract, develop and retain a workforce that can meet the demands of the future
• Continuing our technical school program where we host PSEG days at technical schools in our service territory and hire graduating seniors into full-time roles with offers made on the spot
• Continuing to sponsor the Clean Energy Jobs Program which has helped place more than 9,300 individuals into clean energy careers since its inception

Earning a place on the Best-in-Class Index for nearly two decades reflects the dedication of PSEG employees who lead with care every day. PSEG will continue investing in solutions that support customers, strengthen communities and help build a stronger energy future.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and your career journey to date.

My career started out in traditional accounting with a focus on financial reporting, auditing, and the full CPA preparation route. It gave me a really solid base, but I pretty quickly figured out that I was more interested in using numbers to shape decisions than reporting out on what had already happened. That’s when I made the jump into Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) at HelloFresh, and that’s where everything finally clicked. I got to work directly with senior leadership on things like customer acquisitions and marketing ROI. I learned how to take data and tell a story with it, one that helps with strategic decision making.

GoDaddy has been a really great experience.

The scope of what I get to work on keeps me engaged and there’s always something new to dig into.

The partnerships I’ve built across the business and the depth of analysis the role demands are what I enjoy most. I also work with some brilliant individuals! The finance team is full of super talented, driven, and helpful people.

What tools, systems, or methods do you rely on most in your day-to-day work, and how have they changed the way you analyze information?

Excel is still the primary tool I rely on day-to-day. I know there are a lot of shiny new tools out there, but when it comes to financial analysis, nothing really replaces it. What I’ve focused on more over time is how I build in Excel rather than just what I build. I try to make sure our models are repeatable, easy for someone else to pick up, and actually useful for making a decision rather than just answering a question. More recently, I’ve been leaning on GoCaaS (GoDaddy’s own internal centralized platform that provides generative AI for GoDaddy employees and products to consume) to help stress test narratives and think through different ways to frame an analysis. It’s still early days in terms of how I use it, but it’s been a helpful thinking partner when I’m trying to figure out how a story might land with different audiences.

How do you translate complex financial data into insights that non-finance folks can actually understand and use?

The first thing I always try to figure out is who’s in the room and what they already know. There’s a big difference between presenting to a VP versus a marketing lead or an operations team. The aim is to make sure people are not lost or feel as if their time could have been better spent elsewhere, so understanding the audience upfront is very important.

From there, I think about whether visuals can do the heavy lifting. For example, something like a waterfall chart is way more intuitive than a table full of numbers when you’re trying to show what drove a variance. The right visual can make a complex story click in seconds in a way that a spreadsheet simply cannot.

But honestly, the most important thing is the “so what?” People don’t need to understand every number, they just need to know what to do with the information. Therefore, it’s important to land on a clear takeaway: here’s what the data means, here’s the decision in front of us, and here’s what I would recommend. That’s the point where finance stops being a reporting function and starts driving the business.

What’s a skill or area of expertise you’ve developed at GoDaddy that you didn’t have when you started?

Honestly, a few things come to mind. When I joined GoDaddy, I could build a solid model and get to the right answer but translating that into a story that actually landed with stakeholders was something I had to work on. The scale of the business pushed me to get a lot sharper at that, and I think I’ve made good progress, though it’s something I’m always working to improve. At the end of the day, people need context and clarity, not just numbers, so I’ve been focusing more on getting to the point quickly and making sure the analysis connects directly to the decision being made. And lastly, my Excel skills have grown tremendously (special shoutout to Q, who is an absolute wizard and has taught me a lot)! The complexity of what I work on here basically forced that.

Are there any resources that you would recommend to others interested in personal development?

When it comes to personal development, I’ve always gravitated towards books about people I admire or individuals who have changed their industry. One of my all-time favourites is Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, the co-founder of Nike. It really puts into perspective what it takes to build something from nothing and the rollercoaster that comes with it. I’d recommend it to anyone, not just those interested in business.

More recently, I started attending Toastmasters, the public speaking course, and it has been a genuinely eye-opening experience. I think anyone who wants to improve their ability to communicate, whether in front of a large crowd or just in everyday conversations, should give it a try. It can feel intimidating at first, but the development I’ve seen in myself and in the people around me has been remarkable.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

Outside of work, I spend a lot of time on the tennis courts. I picked up the game during COVID, hitting against a wall, and quickly fell in love with the game. I attended the US Open final and got to watch Carlos Alcaraz win his first, which was incredible. I’ve since made it a goal to attend every Grand Slam. Beyond tennis, I stay active and love to travel when I get the chance. My fiancée and I are actually in the middle of planning a trip to Europe, so that’s keeping us busy. And lastly, I love spending time with my 23 nieces and nephews. They’re spread across the globe from San Francisco to London to Dubai, but when we manage to get everyone together, the house absolutely goes crazy.
