Therese Van Ryne, Senior Director of External Communications at Zebra Technologies, has discussed the company’s philanthropic initiatives and her own children’s book in podcast appearances. In a February 2024 interview, Van Ryne stated that Zebra “really believe[s] in the notion of doing well by doing good.” She described the company’s employee volunteer program, saying, “We consider it an employee benefit that we each have four days of paid time off each year that we can volunteer.” She also mentioned a “donations for doers” program in which Zebra makes a monetary donation to an organization when employees volunteer a certain number of hours. Van Ryne is the author of the children’s book *Zippy’s Special Gift*, which she said was inspired by her role leading Zebra’s philanthropy efforts and the company’s partnership with Bernie’s Book Bank, a nonprofit that provides books to children in underprivileged situations. She stated that “all of the proceeds from the sales of this book have been donated to Bernie’s Book Bank.” Van Ryne described writing a book as a personal goal, adding, “I believe that we all have these special things inside of us that are necessary… and getting it out is really critical.”
