Latinas in executive leadership roles are not very common. According to a Missing Pieces Report by Alliance of Board Diversity only 4% of executive positions at Fortune 100 companies are held by Latinas. When Priscilla Guasso, a 15-year experienced HR leader based in Chicago and Miami, began to notice this lack of diversity in executive roles she decided to bring to light and create a platform for Latina professionals. She had a vision to create a community to share their experiences, tips, and stories and to empower one another as they navigate their careers in human resources.
