CRAIN'S NEW YORK BUSINESS NOTABLE HISPANIC LEADERS & EXECUTIVES MEET NEW YORK CITY'S NOTABLE HISPANIC LEADERS AND EXECUTIVES As the U.S. population becomes more diverse, it has become more important than ever for institutions to make sure their top ranks reflect how America looks. It is the right thing to do, and it's essential to understanding and addressing the needs and concerns of employees, customers, stakeholders and communities. With its Notable Hispanic Leaders and Executives list, Crain's offers a glimpse of the diverse professionals who are shaping companies and institutions in the New York metropolitan area-in both the nonprofit and private sectors. The leaders on these pages come from many different countries, industries and life experiences. Some are rising stars; others have led their organizations for decades. What they have in common is an ability to break through artificial ceilings in the workplace and help mentor and elevate other diverse professionals. Although these leaders have had a vast impact on the city, much work remains. At the moment, Hispanic leaders are underrepresented in most workplaces. Only 4.5% of executives in the city are Hispanic, and the percentage is even lower, 4%, across the country. The biographies on the pages to come provide powerful inspiration for making sure there is diversity, equity and inclusion in the C-suite of every organization.
