To our surprise, this is the second year we have seen a growth in the number of seats in F1000 corporate boards occupied by a Latino/a. In this edition, we're happy and proud to feature over 350 individuals serving on a corporate board. This is amazing! Congratulations to all of them and to all those corporations benefiting from having a Latino on their board. There's still more room to grow since we're still behind of what it should be, at least mirroring the percentage of clients/consumers those corporations have. It is a wonderful experience to read all those bios, for you will discover the rich backgrounds and experiences of all these leaders. We hope this list helps Corporate America fully recognize and benefit from the tremendous pull of talent represented by all these fantastic board directors.Second, is the impressive list of Candidates to be Board Directors. This is a carefully curated list of CEOs, Entrepreneurs, high-ranking executives, and experienced individuals. This list is the very core of this edition. It is an impressive pull of talent and expertise that makes evident that there are plenty of good, qualified individuals to be corporate directors—a huge call to search firms, Chairs of Nominating and Governance Committees and Chief Executive Officers. We hope you enjoy this great work that our editorial team has done with passion and professionalism. They have dedicated hours researching each name and its information to ensure accuracy and fit. We also want to thank all the board directors who participated in sending us their current whereabouts and information. As well as all the corporations that showed their support to this edition by congratulating and recognizing publicly the value that these leaders bring them.

TIMES GO BY REALLY FAST. This is the 15th edition of our report on the Latinos serving on corporate boards and the best candidates serving on a F1000 corporate board.

POSTMASTER:

This edition comes with great satisfaction, as it has countless work put into it. Putting together the lists of this issue was a mammoth task, and it could have been possible without the support of many members of the Latino Leaders team.

EDITOR´S LETTER

On the bright side, all those hours working on the list have a deeper meaning and value: it means more Latinos are getting on to corporate boards! This is a reason why we should celebrate this edition even more. We must congratulate all who have maintained their positions or added new companies to their expertise.

As a Latina newcomer to the United States, it is of great inspiration to hear and transmit the fantastic stories behind the success of our fellow Hispanics. It is particularly humbling to hear how top executives started with nothing but good values and education; now, they are running notable worldwide companies. Enjoy the edition! Editor

PS. A special shoutout to Sophia & Isabella Herrera. Without their help, we wouldn't have the 2022 Latinos on Corporate Boards edition.

Godoy’s process starts with his sketch pad, where he completes daily charcoal drawings. Once he knows his theme, Godoy will work on several canvases simul taneously (usually up to 3-4). His charac ters perform everyday rituals or fill roles as workers familiar to us— a professor, a law yer, a comical Don Quixote, figures in vari ous states of relaxation like playing dominos or sitting at the beach. Viewers of the paint ings can place themselves in these mundane situations. Regardless of the circumstances, these characters exhibit a sense of dignity.

ALBERTO GODOY, THE ARTIST

LATINO ART LEADERSHIP WHAT WE NEED TO LEARN FROM IT book this year. The monograph is a complete retrospective of Godoy’s work published by ArtPub, a division of ArtHouston. Where the designer John Bernhard alleged, “I did not want to approach the layout chronolog ically, but rather create a well-thought flow of art in response to his work and life. As you peruse the pages, you will get the mood and scope of Godoy’s vision.” Godoy’s visions and life are part lesson and part education. A cultural mix filled with fortitude and relentless strength to find his unique human dimension and very personal style.

WELL-ROUNDED STORY OF LEADERSHIP”

Art is the integrated communi cation channel of all cultures. It is the people’s reflection of their lives and times. Every thing that surrounds us makes us and, in effect, produces the art we create. Those messages that emanate from the depth of our souls touch the audience’s intellect, as it is from the heart that communication trulyAlbertobegins.Godoy, undoubtedly, is not only a survivor but an extraordinary artist by heart. His search for technical perfection char acterizes him in all preceding periods of his work. He is confident that the technique is the foundation for every piece of art, and this technical skill leads to the process of creativity. This is why he believes that a classical technique is key to developing a unique personal style. On April 1, 1980, eight men launched a city bus against the Peruvian embassy in Havana, Cuba, to gain political asylum. In the process, a ricocheting bullet killed a guard, which initiated a disagreement between the two countries and resulted in the removal of the Cuban security forces from the embas sy. Within a few days, over 10,000 Cubans gained asylum by entering the grounds of the Peruvian embassy. This event would trigger a mass emigration of Cubans to the United States known as the Mariel boatlift. Alberto Godoy was among those 10,000. Godoy is a self-taught artist known for his paintings of large rotund figures in vary ing states of daily life with a marked Carib bean flare; all mundane characters present in Godoy’s works and reflect his good-na turedWhenhumor.Godoy first arrived in Houston, he had to work hard to make ends meet and assimilate into the United States. He did not speak English and could not bring anything with him from Cuba. It wasn’t until five years into his Houston life that he started his first painting, and just like that, he got hooked. Godoy began working in his signature style, featuring his large rotund figures in 1993. Godoy says, “At first, I was painting anything that came to mind. Then my style came to me. It felt good, and I knew it was mine. I was creating myself.” Central to his work, Godoy believes that “perfection is found in the spherical na ture of the universe.” Thus, his figures have an exaggerated volume and roundness that reflect his admiration of the sphere.

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS

ONE OF THE CRITICAL skills separating good leaders from great leaders is avoiding jumping to conclusions when making fast decisions. It’s when leaders are faced with more difficult challenges that their thinking be comes vulnerable to brain patterns that can lead them astray. For instance, once Leaders think they understand a problem, it can be difficult to break out of that way of understanding the problem, even if their initial under standing is Accordinginaccurate.toReldan Nadler, Psy.D’s, in his book ‘Leaders’ Playbook,” we have as many as 60,000 thoughts a day. Ninety-five percent of those thoughts are the same ones we had yesterday. The same thoughts keep recycling, and that is one reason why we use 5-10 percent of our brainpower. These same or similar thoughts form patterns or clusters of our beliefs. These become “mental models” or deeply in grained assumptions, generalizations, or even pictures or images that influence how we understand the world and how we take action. In a fast business environment, leaders need to make sure that when making fast decisions, as well as accepting or challenging other people's conclusions, they need to be confident that their reasoning is firmly based on the true facts. The "Ladder of Inference" model, created by organizational psychologist Chris Argyris helps leaders to achieve this. The Ladder of Inference is a mental model popu larized by Peter Senge in his book, The Fifth Discipline. The ladder is made up of seven rungs or stages that out line the rapid process our minds go through to make con clusions and take action in a given situation. AVOID

Let's look at her thought process using the Ladder of Inference: Since Rick is new to sales, Emily be lieves that he can't possibly be as good as the "old-timers" who she has trained for years. So, when she reads the latest sales figures ( available data ), she immediately focus es on the data from Rick's territory ( selected data ). Sales are down on the previous months again ( in terpretation ), and Emily assumes that the drop is entirely to do with Rick's performance ( assumption ). She decides that Rick hasn't been performing well ( conclusion ), so forms the opinion that he isn't up to the job ( belief ). She feels that firing Rick is her best option ( action ).

Now let's challenge the Sales Direc tor's thinking using the Ladder of Infer ence:To get back to facts and reality, we must challenge Emily's selection of data and her assumptions about Rick's per formance.Although the figures are down in Rick's territory, they have dropped less than in other areas. Rick is ac tually a great salesperson, but he and his colleagues have in fact been affected by new products being de layed, and by old products running out of Oncestock.theSales Director changes her assumptions, she will see the need to focus on solving the production issues –the real problem at hand. The ladder of inference is also good for unraveling conflicts and is an excellent team tool to enhance decision-making and communica tion. It is a universal emotional in telligence tool.

In my experience, while this type of environment creates many challenges, it also generates many opportunities for those who seize the occasion and adapt as needed to help an organization thrive despite the uncertainties it faces.

WE ARE LIVING in a challenging time for executives and corporate directors. Inflation, the rising cost of capital, supply chain constraints, labor shortages, uncertainty about demand, war, and sanctions, are some of the factors impacting organizations around the globe. These factors have a massive impact on funding and the valuation of corporations, whether public or private. In this environment, businesses must assess various planning scenarios, prioritize, and be ready to pivot depending on the situation.

Agility and adaptability are the keys to success in a fast-changing environment with uncertain outcomes.

1 Leon C. Megginson paraphrased Charles Darwin's evolutionary research: it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives;it is not the strongest that survives;but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself

AGILITY & ADAPTABILITY IN TURBULENT TIMES

Paraphrasing Darwin’s evolutionary research: “IT IS NOT THE STRONGEST OF THESPECIESTHATSURVIVE,NORTHEMOSTINTELLIGENT,BUTTHEBESTABLETOADAPTTOTHEENVIRONMENTINWHICHITFINDSITSELF.”

This “board” issue of Latino Leaders Magazine recognizes corporate directors of diverse backgrounds who have distinguished themselves in various industries. They are individuals who have demonstrated the agility and adaptability to succeed not only in business but in life.

Corporate agility in the board room is as critical as agility by the executive team. The two must operate in concert to successfully execute necessary changes at scale. During turbulent times communications are critically important. Communications to customers, employees, and investors must be clear, concise, and consistent to align the interests of all stakeholders.

RODRIGUEZ REMODELING & CONTRACTING INC

JR: We were always told to tell the truth, always help a neighbor in need, always respect your elders, and always work hard.

JR: I worked in banking for 5 years right after college, but when I got married I realized the money I was making at the bank was not going to be enough. I now had to support two people, and I wanted to provide a better life for my wife and future kids. Therefore, I decided to start a business, and settled on a construction company.

What has been your biggest challenge and how did you face it?

How was it growing up for you? What are some of your most fond memories?

JR: There have been many challenges. My company has survived a recession, the mortgage meltdown, 911 and last year, the pandemic. Every time we have been through a challenge, we learn something, and we make changes. We started catering to the multi-family industry, and when that started slowing down, we started remodeling homes. We had to adapt to changing times, and being able to adapt and make changes has helped us not only survive, but thrive all these years.

JR: We want to continue to expand our operations in central Texas, and open satellite offices in other cities, but we do not want to grow too much or too fast so we can maintain the level of quality that we have been able to offer our customers since 1995.

JR: I grew up in a very close family. We had dinner together every night, always talked about what was happening in everyone’s life, and always helped each other out when in need.

QUALITY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS

What advice would you give to young professionals considering construction?

INTERVIEW WITH JOHN RODRIGUEZ

What are your future plans for Rodriguez Remodeling & Contracting?

JR: Quality, quality, quality. You have to maintain the highest level of quality. There will be times when you will lose money in an effort to make things right, but going the extra mile always pays off. The only way to set yourself apart from the hundreds of other guys doing the same thing you are doing is by doing things better than all of them.  THE ONLY WAY TO SET YOURSELF APART FROM THE HUNDREDS OF OTHER GUYS DOING THE SAME THING YOU ARE DOING IS BY DOING THINGS BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM.  Ayush Swamy/ Yush Films F.

Robert Nuñez bought his first home at 22 years of age. He was tired of renting, so decided it was time to buy a starter home for $90,000. When he first purchased a house while being a university student and working fulltime, he realized that he was not well-informed about the process. The process was confusing, and no one educated him about it. After seeing gaps, he wanted to change the home buying experience for others.

Johanna Hoyos Matt Redden with Vitae Photography F. Izquierdo

ROBERT NUÑEZ was born in California, and grew up in Rio Bravo in Tamaulipas, Mexico until his family moved to South Texas. He moved to San Antonio to pursue banking while attending college. An opportunity arose at USAA, where his career journey began. He relocated to Dallas, graduating from University of Texas at Dallas, and now has nearly two decades of experience in the financing industry. Today, Robert is a residential mortgage loan originator and Guild Mortgage branch manager recognized for his effectiveness and dedication to securing highly competitive home mortgages for residential clients and investors.  Raúl Arriaga was also born in California, grew up in Mexico, and is the eighth child of nine siblings. Raúl originally planned to major in film and television. However, his sister (who was at the time in real estate) convinced him to pursue the profession. He attended Dallas College to pursue his Texas real estate license and has never looked back. Raúl loves to help people with fulfilling their dream of home ownership. Today, Raúl is a successful realtor in the Dallas-Fort Worth market, consistently ranked in the top 1%. With an international and local client base, Raúl is committed to helping people—from diplomats to immigrants— achieve the American dream of property ownership.

DEI INITIATIVES ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO ENSURE AN EQUITABLE TRANSITION TO A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, a model for the rest of the country in addressing the climate crisis, has set a goal of net-zero emissions by 2045. Head quartered in the Golden State, Edison Internation al and its subsidiaries are key enablers of the state’s goals, which have profound consequences for di verse communities, including the state’s more than 15 million Latinos. “We are working to move the electric power industry - and ultimately the whole economy - to ward a clean energy future,” says Edison Interna tional President and CEO Pedro J. Pizarro. “This includes making sure the transition remains reli able, affordable and equitable for Latino families and all diverse stakeholders.”

SCE also spent $2.4 billion (38% of total spending) with more than 620 diverse suppliers, and 80% of Edi son International’s $20 million in philanthropic giving in 2021 supported diverse organizations.

At the board level, eight of Edison International’s 11 board members are diverse in terms of gender, race, ethnicity and/or LGBTQ+ identification. The board has gender parity among the 10 independent directors.

Underscoring this point, a number of the clean energy programs offered by SCE are designed in partnership with representatives from diverse com munities and weighted toward helping those who need them most. Half of the electric vehicle chargers supported by the utility’s Charge Ready program will be in underserved communities and $4,000 rebates for pre-owned electric vehicles will be pro vided for income-qualified customers instead of the standard $1,000 rebate. Proposals for heat pump installations, electrical panel upgrades and energy efficiency programs also target these customers.

The board’s oversight of the company’s people and culture includes review of DEI data including repre sentation, pay equity and employee sentiment. By sharing data and being transparent, the company is in a position to make more meaningful change. “While we have a good representation of Latinos among our lineworkers, I would like to see us contin ue to increase Latino representation in our leadership ranks,” Pizarro says. “We utilize diverse candidate pools and diverse interview panels to make sure that we’re giving every opportunity to move as quickly as possible in that direction. We are fully committed to advancing more diverse candidates, including Latinos, into our leadership ranks.”

“DEI is a top priority for our board and is embed ded in our overall corporate strategy,” says Edison In ternational board member Michael Camuñez, presi dent and CEO of Monarch Global Strategies.

EDISON INTERNATIONAL 26 LATINO LEADERS MAY / JUNE 2022

Moreover, Edison Energy provides global energy and sustainability advisory, management and data reporting services for clients worldwide, including in Central and South America.

Edison International publicly shares its findings and released its first major DEI report in August 2020, with annual updates since then. “A commitment to diversity starts at the top, and I’m proud that we are one of the few Fortune 250 companies with a Latino CEO, two Latino board members, an African American board chair and a leadership team that looks like the communities we serve,” Camuñez concludes. “Our commitment is re flected in the policies and the numbers that Edison has achieved. There's more to be done, for sure, yet I feel really good about the trajectory that we're on.”

PREPARINGINSTITUTEBOARDREADY(BRI):LATINOLEADERSFORTHEBOARDROOM

The Latino Corporate Directors Education Foundation (LCDEF), in partnership with its parent association, the Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), is increasing the number of US Latinos serving on corporate boards by accelerating the development and placement of highly credentialed Latinos who are aspiring, new, and board-experienced directors from a variety of sectors and professions onto the highest levels of corporate governance.

• The core BRI program is designed to prepare highly credentialed executives and national leaders to begin their journey to the boardroom and be best positioned to serve as a vetted talent pool for corporate board service. The program is targeted at new LCDA aspiring director members who have not completed board-ready programming or new directors who are serving on their first private board (less than 2 years).

There is ample Latino talent for the boardroom, as demonstrated by our growing membership which doubled over the last three years - and the candidate applicant pool is just the tip of the iceberg. LCDEF welcomed its largest cohort of 70+ LCDA members at its recently held Spring BoardReady Institute (BRI) hosted by Goldman Sachs in New York City. The BRI is a comprehensive set of programs designed to prepare and position highly qualified Latino senior executives and national leaders for corporate board service. Our quickly growing membership created the demand for the expansion of BRI, which now offers all LCDA members two concurrent program tracks: the core BRI and the next-level BRINext:

• BRINext is the next level in programming for members interested in taking a deeper dive in corporate governance education and seeking a strategic understanding of the inner workings of corporate boards. This program is targeted at firsttime directors (less than 5 years) and aspiring director members who completed core BRI programming in previous year(s) or a board-readiness program through other sources.

Carmen Joge, LCDA Vice President, Programs and Operations

LCDEF'S

The program’s tailored curriculum is delivered in collaboration with the KPMG Board Leadership Center, the University of California Hastings’ Center for Business Law, LCDA’s seasoned directors, and LCDA’s search firm partners - like Egon Zehnder, Heidrick & Struggles, and Diversified Search — who instruct and coach candidates on their journey to the boardroom. Since then, our list of curriculum partners has grown to include Equilar, Diligent, Spencer Stewart, Goldman Sachs, Carlyle, Above Board, and many others.

LCDA Member, JC Gonzalez-Mendez, said of our recent Spring BRI programming, “THANK YOU for an outstanding event in New York. The presentations, dialogue, and networking were probably the best I have participated in. Every single topic that was discussed was relevant and well covered. I am proud to be a part of such a professional organization.”

Invaluable to an LCDA board-aspiring members’ success is the support they receive from BRI’s Partners and LCDA’s experienced Director Members who “pay it forward” by mentoring and coaching first-time and aspiring directors during their journey to and in the boardroom. Programming, preparation, networking, coaching, and peer support all play a role in ensuring that talented, board-ready executives who complete BRI are successful when searching for board opportunities they are passionate about. Last year, 22 former LCDA board aspiring executives landed board seats. Now mid-way through 2022, there have been over 70+ Latino board appointments — LCDA is truly moving the needle for Latino board representation. While there is no board placement guarantee — when you put talent, preparation and networks together with timing, hard work, and opportunity, you have a winning combination.

REFLECTION BY ESTHER AGUILERA AS PART OF the continuing partnership between the Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA) and Latino Leaders magazine, I am proud to share updates regarding the state of LCDA, its members, and Latinos in America’s boardrooms. LCDA is a community of US Latinos at the highest levels of corporate leadership that are committed to paying it forward and which welcomes highly-accomplished leaders who have demonstrated a personal or professional commitment to the advancement of the Latino community. Paying it forward is a key tenet of LCDA membership; being the first Latino with a seat at the table is a considerable responsibility— with the potential to pay it forward by opening doors for other board aspiring Latinos. LCDA members understand that as thought leaders and accomplished executives, they can propel the advancement of US Latino board placements. Due to this commitment, LCDA is at the forefront of promoting qualified Latino board talent and preparing Latinos for board service with LCDA members occupying more than Search and Latino Corporate Directors Association Impact

MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 31 30 percent of the board seats held by Latinos on Fortune 1000 companies. LCDA currently boasts more than 430 members, and through its continued rapid growth, is driving forward US Latino corporate board appointments and connecting companies with Latino talent. Just recently, two LCDA board aspiring members were appointed simultaneously to a public company board. The search for two board placements was led by an LCDA Member. Through LCDA’s network of members and search firm partners, doors have been opened to successful board appointments at companies such as — PayPal, Ulta Beauty, PG&E, American Outdoor Brands, Delta Apparel, Zion Bancorporation, and Meritage Homes, to name a few. Out of many, these are some notable instances for LCDA, where our network has lived up to the commitment of expanding opportunities and uplifting the next wave of Latino directors. Plus, the organization is committed to providing members with high-caliber programming. This fall, LCDA members will participate in LCDA’s 7th Annual Convening—where board aspiring members are given the opportunity to network with and learn from Director Members, alongside LCDA’s Partners, Sponsors, and Search Firm Partners. As an exclusive benefit, our members are also invited to participate in LCDA’s Fall BoardReady Institute (BRI) Program, hosted by Morgan Stanley, focused on accelerating the development and placement of highly credentialed Latinos who are aspiring, new, and board-experienced directors from a variety of sectors and professions onto the highest levels of corporate governance. As the preeminent association of US Latina and Latino corporate directors and a trusted source for US corporations and search firms seeking board talent, LCDA believes a diverse board isn’t just about fulfilling social quotas, but about creating a diverse think engine for companies. Having Latinos on corporate boards means representing the vast majority of market growth as Latino consumers contribute $2.7 trillion to the US GDP and make up nearly 20 percent of the US population. LCDA stays committed to partnering with key organizations, like Latino Leaders, to bring awareness to the ample supply of Latino corporate board talent and the value of boardroom diversity.

“IF YOU ADD VISIBILITY, TIME, AND QUALIFICATIONS, IT EQUATES TO EXTERNAL CREDIBILITY AND THE NOTICE NEEDED FOR THE BOARDS.”

"There are challenges posed for more Latino/as communities to get onto corporate boards faster, has to do with the current corporate structure in Corporate America. That is what we need to change," stated Wilson. "The misconception you hear from Corporate America that they cannot find 'qualified' Latino/as or a 'good fit' is a fallacy!" "This means they are looking for someone open to assimilating a whitecentric board of directors rather than what Corporate America should do, acculturate to Hispanics and Latinos. The issue of 'qualification' and 'fit' completely goes away because now Corporate America is looking at this through the acculturation lens rather than the old-school assimilation lens. When Corporate America adapts acculturation in their corporate boards, you will see the numbers of Hispanics and Latinos getting on boards go up dramatically," emphasized Cid.  For Latinos and Hispanics interested in being part of a board, Cid's advice is to recognize it's all about visibility. "If you add visibility, time, and qualifications, it equates to external credibility and the notice needed for the boards. Remember that 2/3 of board seats are chosen by word of mouth and 1/3 by search firms. 60% of board seats go to current/former CEOs or other c-suite roles. The last 20% goes to everyone else. Rather than fighting the last 20%, ask yourself, how do you start thinking about your career strategy to qualify for more of the other percentages."

HACR IS ELEVATING MORE HISPANIC INCLUSION IN CORPORATE AMERICA AND IN CORPORATE BOARDS DID YOU KNOW Hispanics hold 5% of the approximate Fortune 100 board seats? Latinas have 1% of Fortune 500 board seats. Latinos hold 4% of Fortune 500 board seats. Minority women hold 6.6% of Fortune 500 board seats. ¹  The voice of more than 46.6 million Hispanics in the United States needs to feel heard, not neglected!  The Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR), founded in 1986, has been listening and taking action by advancing the inclusion of Hispanics in Corporate America. The non-profit focuses on four areas of corporate social responsibility and community reciprocity: Employment, Procurement, Philanthropy, and Governance. To better fill this gap, the HACR organization is prioritizing working with corporations nationally and globally to create positive change for our Latino/as and Hispanic communities.    Cid Wilson, a Dominican American living in New Jersey, serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of HACR. He is proud to be promoting Hispanic inclusivity through direct corporate advocacy by speaking with chief executive officers, board of directors, and chief diversity officers to increase the representation of Hispanics at all levels in Corporate America. Having Cid speak with the leaders that influence the appointment of board members allows for elevating more Latino/as and Hispanics to get onto more corporate boards.

THE POWER OF ACTION:TAKING

Cid is a propeller of Hispanic talent in the United States. During his time at HACR, he has contributed to having more than doubled the organization's size and tripled net assets. He wants people to remember his time at HACR as a catalyst of change, where Hispanics and Latino/as are visible in corporate gatherings, where they have never been before. "I want people to remember me as the leader who changed corporate culture, who created a Corporate America that is not only inclusive but also a place of belonging."

In daily conversations, the most common question that comes up is,  what is Corporate America doing to change the culture of the corporate board? It's not just naming a Latino/a on the board. But how can every board director be a catalyst for change in the current culture of the corporate board?

The 2022 Latinos on Boards brings great joy to our team as it marks the 15th anniversary of the annual list publication. The essence of this list is closely linked to Latino leaders' mission of spotlighting the Latino community's growing talent in America. As we conducted the interviews, one of the most recurring themes was the sense of sorority within the community and everyone involved in the advancement of Latinos. As a publication that witnessed the different stages of the evolution of Latinos in Corporate America, we feel humbled to be part of the story.

LIST2022THE BOARDSONLATINOS LEADERSLATINO 2022JUNE/MAY 41 THE GOOD, THE BAD AND WHAT’S NEXT: LATINO REPRESENTATION ON CORPORATE BOARDS The outlook for Latino diversity and representation in corporate America depends on looking at past performance and the trends that are guiding the future. Are we poised for more representative participation in the boardroom, or do we still have work to be done? Is there cause for concern or celebration? Is the glass half empty or half full? Victor Arias Courtesy

Every day, the specter of a possible recession early next year looms larger. This sounds an alarm for the business community to prepare for the challenges that come with dim prospects for a robust economy. In the prior recession (2008-2011), board sizes shrunk as retiring members were not replaced, unemployment was high, the economy was sluggish and many DEI/ESG initia tives were However,cut.this potential recession shows different signs. The unemployment rate is lower this time and we are experiencing high levels of business in the face of increasing interest rates.

WHAT’S NEXT?

First timers: The rise of first-time directors is being fueled by a demand and sincere desire to bring new and fresh perspective into boardroom conversations and flexibility by boards to look beyond just C level executives whether active or retired. As this trend continues, the opportunities for diversification will present themselves. This will create openings for Latinos that can lead to real representation in the future.

Succession planning

LIST2022THE BOARDSONLATINOS LEADERSLATINO 2022JUNE/MAY 42

While this trajectory is a positive indicator, we must consider that the bar was low to begin with. This makes the changes look more promising that they really are. The actual numbers do not mir ror the percentage of Latinos in America. Latinos are the fastest growing demographic in the country (18%) and represent the 7th largest economy in the world (GDP) if they were a separate nation – these numbers will continue to grow. A closer, more critical, look at the data gives us an ever more sobering look inside boardrooms. Of the Fortune 1000 listings, 69% of the member companies have no representation of Latinos on their boards despite the business imperative of what Latinos represent as consumers. Though all progress should be applauded, is it enough? The answer is clear. There is much work to be done. With current trends and pressure to diversify gaining momen tum, the headwinds are strong in achieving gains at a quicker pace. With that in mind, we can look to the factors that affected past changes. Knowing what has worked in our favor can be our guiding principles. We can lean into the trends that have helped propel us forward in the past.

A view of Latino representation of boards since 2011 suggests that times are changing and there is good news to report. The table below shows tangible improvements and an upward trend. But that’s not the whole story.

Diverse Representation on Boards

One trend that continue to be critical to boards is succession planning. The responsibility of boards to plan for CEO succession and an increasingly close eye on board effectiveness continues to be of utmost importance. Board refreshment will continue and will create more board seat openings.

THE LAST DECADE has seen a meaningful shift in the conver sation around corporate governance. The George Floyd effect and the #metoo movement have put real pressure on decision makers to focus on diverse candidates. Additionally, there is in tensified scrutiny on boards by institutional investors, ESG funds, DEI advocates.

THE BAD NEWS

We are seeing an intensified and relentless focus to diversify boards. This pressure is coming from institutional investors like pension funds, ESG funds and states like California. This trend will continue and will open up more opportunities for Latinos.

Additionally, while budgets for DEI/ESG may also suffer a similar fate of being cut, many corporations may still view their board refreshment efforts as important and may use this as an opportu nity to cull current directors and add more diverse faces. As we collectively step into an uncertain future, we must stay positive and look to the silver lining of future trends. They will help expand and deepen diverse representation and influence.

THE GOOD NEWS

The growth of Latinos continues to be a driver of this economy and the image of Latinos as “makers” is part of the solution rather than mistakenly viewing Latinos as “takers” in America. Focus ing on the facts of the economic contributions of Latinos and the key growth segment of this country will be a key catalyst for compelling corporate America to view having more Latinos on corporate boards as a clear business imperative. And all of this, is very good news. Victor Arias, Jr. is a Managing Director with Diversified Search and runs the DFW office. He is the practice leader for the Con sumer Practice (CPG, Hospitality, Restaurants, Sports, Media, Entertainment) and the Real Estate practice. He is a core mem ber of the Board of Director practice and served on the Popeyes board (NASDAQ:PLKI) for 15 years before the business was sold.

Cyber specialists: A trend toward prioritizing this specialty function will create new opportunities. In the past, specialty area has been centered on digital marketing and pure technology. With today’s data security concerns, cybersecurity expertise is top priority. Latinos have significant leadership in this function and continues to represent great opportunity.

How did the opportunity to work for Toyota arise?

WHEN I TOLD MY DAD ABOUT MY INTEREST IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING, HE SUPPORTED ME -DESPITE THE VIEWS OF HIS FRIENDS WHO WOULD TELL ME THAT THE ENGINEERING FIELD IS FOR MEN, NOT GIRLS.

RMH: Everyone needs to be more approachable; we all need to get to know each other better. A great place to start would be universities where Latinos are in the majority. They should be encouraged to attend engineering conferences, Week of Engineering, career fairs etc., to offer them insight into the types of jobs within companies like Toyota.

RMH: I was born and raised in Mexico. I was the fourth of six children. My father, a remarkable man, encouraged all my siblings to go to college, which we did. I received a Chemical Engineering degree from the University of Guanajuato, Mexico, and a Technical Certification in Environmental Engineering from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, Mexico. My husband Brad and I have one son, Bradley Jr.

What do you think we can do to promote more Latino(a) professionals in corporations like Toyota?

RMH: Responsibility, honesty and professionalism are the primary values I practice every day, along with teamwork, problem-solving, and respect for all.

RMH: My older brother was a big influence on me. He graduated as an Electrical Engineer when I was in high school. I love math and science, and when I told him about my interest in chemical engineering, he supported me, despite the views of his friends who would tell me that the engineering field is for men, not girls. Once I was at the university, my research and co-op assignments helped me recognize the world of opportunities in waste management, so I continued my path to Environmental Engineering.

RMH: Prior to Toyota, I worked for a Tier I Supplier in the auto industry, but I really wanted to pursue a career in an assembly plant. The company was in a difficult transition (bankruptcy), so I decided to look for another job. Toyota was looking for an Environmental Engineer for the start of production at the Mississippi Plant, and I got the job. Can you share facts about your role and position at Toyota? RMH: I am the Environmental Manager, responsible for the compliance of all environmental regulations applicable to our operations at Toyota R&D Sites in North America, including KPI tracking and risk minimization. Another function is team member development. I currently have three team members under my umbrella.

RP: I chose my college studies and majors based on my overall interest in mechanical systems, math, disassembling and reassembling (sometimes) lots of toys, clocks, radios, etc., while growing up. I also enjoyed riding motorcycles and working on cars as a teenager, so I wanted to learn more about how these vehicles were designed and built.

LATINO LEADERS TOYOTA MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 141

As for my business degree, after working at Toyota for 15 years in the technical area, I decided to pursue our business operations side, so I obtained an MBA.

RP: I was born in Los Angeles to Mexican parents who migrated to California one year before my birth. I have three older siblings who were born in Mexico, so I am the first of my family to be born in the USA; my two younger siblings were also born in the USA. My family and I lived in Los Angeles for about 30 years until college and marriage situations required us to move to different cities. I now live in Plano, Texas, but the rest of my family still lives in the Los Angeles area within 10 miles of each other. My father was born in Mexico City, where he worked as a baker while growing up. At 21, he came to the USA and joined the U.S. Army during the Korean War (he was never deployed to war). He returned to Mexico City after two years in the army and returned to working as a baker. My mother was born in Monterrey, Mexico where she grew up on a cattle ranch. She attended a local university and graduated with a degree in biology. She was the first female from her town to attend college, so it was a very big accomplishment during the 1950s. She met my father while vacationing in Puerto Vallarta, and they were married shortly after. Five years later, they moved to the USA. I attended grammar school and college in the Los Angeles area. I have a Mechanical Engineering degree from California State University and an MBA from Loyola Marymount University. What made you pick your college studies and majors?

What do you think we can do to promote more Latino(a) professionals in corporations like Toyota?

RP: Working with integrity, continuous improvement and customer satisfaction are the constants I always aspire to. The skills I leverage the most are communication and relationship building. How did the opportunity to work for Toyota arise?

Courtesy of Toyota Motor North America

RP: To promote more Latino professionals within corporations like Toyota, we must be deliberate about our intention to make this a priority. We must have very specific goals and targets, but we must also ensure we are providing appropriate mentoring and guidance to those Latinos that wish to be promoted. It needs to be a partnership between the company and the individual where both sides are equally investing in achieving the goal.

Caldera stresses that for companies to remain relevant in a vexing economic and political climate, directors with a wide range of backgrounds and disciplines are essential to recognize the opportunities and risks around the corner. He stresses, "For richness in solutions, we really need a team with many different types of backgrounds and disciplines."

FORWARD'TOLATINOSUCCESSFULURGES'PAYIT

LOUIS CALDERA has served nearly 20 years on public company boards, contributing to several companies' guidance during challenging times in diverse industries. This experience, complemented by decades of CEOequivalent roles in the profit and nonprofit sectors, is his key to success. Caldera has served in the military, politics, academia, and the Clinton and Obama presidential administrationsthis experience has given the former U.S. secretary of the Army a frontline view of how board focus is evolving. He advises that representing shareholders still counts, but boards also face many other challenges.

Caldera has chaired public company audit and nominating and governance committees in the boardroom and has served on special board committees dealing with sensitive legal, regulatory, and personnel matters.

Caldera advises Latinos who want to serve on a board to be good in their current jobs. This will produce the credentials that boards seek and lead to opportunities. Networking is also an essential factor in advancing onto corporate Boards. Caldera says successful Latinos should "pay it forward" by helping identify and support the executive talent in their rising population, but it remains highly underrepresented. "We need to do a better job of giving Latinos visibility," he emphasizes.

Moreover, directors need to recognize the concerns of younger generations. He expects this crowd to push companies to be on the right side of issues important to them, such as racial equity and climate change. "You need to make sure to have the right skill set," he said, "and this includes having younger people on the board."

LOUIS CALDERA SHARES HIS STORY AS A BOARD DIRECTOR

"If you are going to do a good job creating diverse communities, you have to have managers who understand those communities," he said. "The more diverse the team is, it is less likely to be blindsided by issues you missed because you don't think that way."

The role of a future-oriented nom/gov committee is especially relevant in developing strategies and management which can address issues such as cybersecurity, international operations, and the pandemic.

According to Caldera, boards need to address the most significant questions: how do rising inflation and the possibility of a recession impact their business, how does COVID impact supply chains, human capital management, and how to find and retain talented employees.

Caldera observed that many boards are shifting toward stakeholder capitalism, which causes sensitivity and attention to Environmental Social and Governance issues, the needs of employees and business partners, and their communities. "Our obligation is to be smart, thoughtful, humanistic, and to hold a high ethical standard," Caldera said. Not long after his tenure as Army secretary in 2001, Caldera, a Texas-born son of Mexican immigrants, made his boardroom debut with the governance team at DallasNews Corporation. He now chairs the board's compensation committee. Caldera also is a board member for Meritage Homes and Granite Construction. He previously was a director for Southwest Airlines Co. and Career Education Corp. Caldera, who holds degrees from West Point and Harvard University, said he has learned a lot serving on public company boards. This includes a keen awareness that personal relationships are essential. "A third of board searches are through search firms, but two-thirds come through networking, relationships with people on a board," he advised.

LATINOS ON CORPORATE BOARDS MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 143

Networking has been an important factor in Caldera's career trajectory. He also proactively uses his connections to open doors for Latinos, which he sees as beneficial to public companies eager to serve different populations.

LATINOS ON CORPORATE BOARDS 144 LATINO LEADERS MAY / JUNE 2022

Throughout his professional development, he was the first in many cases, including the first Latino to serve as the head of the United States Peace Corps. "It was a great privilege for me to serve and trailblaze at a time when the Peace Corps was working to be more inclusive and diverse as well as expand program opportunities for Peace Corps volunteers.”

INDEPENDENTVASQUEZ,BOARDDIRECTORTHEHONOROFBEINGTHEFIRST

The combination of two decisive factors allowed him to build such opportunities; "First, neither of my parents graduated from high school, but they firmly believed that achieving a higher education could break the cycle of pov erty that my family had endured for generations.” Second, I have always believed in the importance of overcoming the fear of the unknown and having the courage to face daunting tasks. I was 32 when I began my service on the board of supervisors, and I was the first person of color elected to the board in the county’s history. It was not without challenges, but I was willing to take that leap of faith and was elected by a trusting constituency." It is no secret that times are changing compared to when Vasquez started serving on boards. The current strategies for board compositions are changing due to the rise of diversi ty as a crucial factor. Gaddi is a firm believer in the richness that different perspectives bring to the conversation. "It's a competitive advantage because you're gaining the insight of GADDI

GADDI VASQUEZ is a seasoned Board Director who hails from a migrant farm working family, which he is proud of. His parents moved to Southern California to pursue other economic opportunities after he was born in Carrizo Springs, Texas. "I spent most of my life in Orange County, where I grew up and graduated from college."

Some of his spearheading experiences are he was the first POC elected to the Orange County Board of Supervisors, the first Hispanic-American to serve as the head of the US Peace Corps, and the 8th U.S. Ambassador to the United Na tions Agencies in Rome Italy, and the former Director of The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands. When reminiscing about his board services, he's had the opportunity to work in the public and private sec tor with vast experience. The blend of serving in senior leadership positions in the public and private sector has provided invaluable insight into the important balance between the two sectors and the corresponding challeng es associated with each.”

Change in life is inevitable, and there are always unexpected situations that will shift things around. Following this train of thought, Gaddi reflects on how the pan demic has changed the expectations between employees and companies, In an era of eco nomic instability and periods of uncertainty, boards will have to step back and consider the challenges that will be upon us in the future. There was a time when people worked for a company and stayed for 10 or 20 years. To day, there's considerably more movement in the workplace and employees have different expectations. Change and transformation are inevitable," Gaddi says. Hence, his advice for the new generation of Latinos moving forward into the corpo rate world is to exhibit strong leadership skills, with a high ability to be decisive and ar ticulate their perspective on issues. "Don't be afraid or shy. As you go through life and ca reer, you want to leave a legacy. Even if you're young, use your voice to influence outcomes" He's excited to be living in this time where there's greater diversity in the boardroom, but the duties of corporate board members are pertinent to work with consequences. He affirms, "Our responsibilities continue to evolve." Even today, Gaddi Vasquez strives to maintain a high level of curiosity, where his illustrious expertise shines through. He represents a story of success to look up to, having come from a small town in Texas to establish a distinguished career.

A DIALOGUE WITH JENNIFER REYNOLDS, CEO OF WOMEN CORPORATE DIRECTORS FOUNDATION (WCD) DIVERSE QUESTIONS FOR BETTER SOLUTIONS

REYNOLDSJENNIFER CEO OF FOUNDATIONDIRECTORSCORPORATEWOMEN(WCD)

“We’re a not-for-profit with 2500 members from different countries, six continents, and 65 chapters. We differ from other organizations since most of our team members are already on a corporate board and likely open for more opportunities.”

WCD focuses on developing vision through the advancement of female corporate directors. Reynolds holds a 25-year career with former senior positions at Toronto Finance International (TFI), Women in Capital Markets (WCM), and Citibank Canada.

versation forward.” Moreover, social issues also affect boards, “we should think in a broader perspective about what’s happening outEducationthere.” is a crucial mission for WCD; they want to push the boundaries of best practices on Corporate Boards. “We have an advocate role; we want to see more diverse and visionary roles faster,” says Reynolds. Even though there have been changes in the diversity of board composition, “it is never quick enough. Discussions on diversity need to be less of a ‘tick the category box mentality’ and move towards a real culture of inclusiv ity.”New generations will have more opportu nities available but building solid and mean ingful careers is essential. Companies will look for talent with a positive impact. “Start with non-for-profit boards. Learn and create an impact on your communities. Let your experience have a voice of its own,” advises Reynolds.Someof the goals of WCD for the future include advancing with impact, continuing to advise on best practices, growing their network, and strengthening board education pillars. Personally, Reynolds will continue to move forward in advancing talent on corpo rate boards, “we need to do more than just hope for changes.”

“WE MUST ENSURE we’re attracting diverse female corporate members, hence why we are actively recruiting WOC and underrep resented professionals looking for board op portunities.”Butbesides gender, what are women’s big gest struggles today when they’re already in the board practice? Reynolds believes that parity is one of them, especially if it boards such few women in their groups. “If women represent half of the population, that’s the number we should be looking forward to in companies.” Nordic countries are far more advanced than the U.S. regarding equality and parental policies. “Whenever you see better la bor policies, that’s where they’re doing better.” For her, inclusivity is crucial. Latino mem bers at WCD are key. They have large chap ters in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and other countries in Latin America. “If you change what’s around the table in terms of backgrounds and experiences in life, you change questions. That allows you to explore things from a broader perspective and benefit from innovative ideas.” When asked about best practices to im prove businesses, she states that cohesion, inclusion, and a culture of solid self-evalua tion in boardrooms are essential, besides the simple good management. “I think asking hard questions is necessary to move the con “IF WE ALL COME FROM THE SAME BACKGROUND, QUESTIONS WON’T BE DIVERSE.”

DIVERSITY IS WHAT WILL KEEP COMPANIES ALIVE IN THE COMING YEARS: A dialogue with Luis Ubiñas

Another challenge for the boards is understanding that they live in a multi-stakeholder world. They must consider employees, customers, and suppliers as partners in the company's longtermCompanieswell-being.must also consider environmental issues before making decisions, which wasn't common years ago. For example, Corporations now have to analyze environmental rules before building a chemical plant or making other long-term decisions. "We must stop thinking of environmental issues as political matters, as they are business issues. Anyone involved in business knows that climate is changing and managing that climate risk requires action," Luis says. Personally, Luis Ubiñas will continue to passionately work aiding companies. “As time goes, I want to continue to support CEOs leading change. It is of great satisfaction when companies change for the better, deliver shareholder value, create a better community.”

LATINOS ON CORPORATE BOARDS 146 LATINO LEADERS MAY / JUNE 2022

The executive was a senior partner at McKinsey and Company. Later, he was the president of the Ford Foundation, which he led through the 2007 recession. Since then, Luis has been part of multiple boards, including AT&T, Electronic, and Tanger Outlets. He is also an investor and spends his time on nonprofit activities.

CURRENTLY, LATINOS represent 17.3% of the workforce in the United States, and the number will rise to 30% by 2060, according to research released by McKinsey & Company. However, the presence of Latinos in the leading positions is still scarce. They represent 4% of board seats, and only 20 Latino CEOs are among the Fortune 500 companies.  Luis Ubiñas, chairman of Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation and board member of several organizations, believes the world is undergoing an intense transformation. According to the executive and investor, companies looking for a workforce in the coming years will end up hiring Latinos even if they are not focusing on diversity. "It's hard to imagine an economy driven by Latino and Latina growth, but leadership at the board level and in the C-suite remaining far less than 5% Latino and Latina. That gap - between the face of leadership and the face of the economy to come - is a vast strategic issue for corporations," says Luis. According to the executive, having more Latinos in the business isn't a "cultural imperative, it is a business imperative." Luis highlights that corporations need to understand that it's in their best interest to have more representation of Latinos on their boards and in their C-suite positions. Ubiñas reflects, "how will companies address the large percentage of the economy that Latinos will drive if they are absent in decision-making processes?"

In the last decades, Luis has been closely following the corporate world changes and analyzing the new issues they face. He explains that supply chain decisions can no longer be made based on cost, there has to be a return to a layered analysis of the risk associated with lowest cost suppliers. "We need to make supply chain decisions based on the likelihood of those economics being available on a sustained basis -over decades. The lost art of country risk analysis is now back as an everyday discussion for companies," adds Luis.

Corporations aiming to have more Latinos on leading positions and boards won't struggle to find capable people. "There is no shortage of Latino and Latina board candidates across this country. I've seen the lists myself. These are people who have led organizations and driven change," adds Luis. Luis Ubiñas was the first member of a Puerto Rican family born in the United States. As part of an immigrant group, he knows that those groups face many challenges. “The question isn't whether we face challenges. The question is how do we work to overcome them, as have those many immigrants who've come before us."

"I spend my time doing the range of things I did across my career, but now I get to do them all at once," he says.

LARRY KING CO-FOUNDER AND PROGRAM COMMITTEE CHAIR FOR THE DALLAS-FORT WORTH CHAPTER OF THE PRIVATE DIRECTORS ASSOCIATION

One of the main challenges faced by the Private Directors Association is the lack of information among business owners on how a corporate board can add value to the company. According to Larry, there have been large organizations addressing the needs of big or public corporate boards, but the Private Directors Association is focused on middle and lower market companies, which are often overlooked. "So, we're filling a space that hasn't been provided for in the Diversitypast."isalso crucial on a board as it benefits the company in different areas. "Part of our mission is to educate the owners, and having a diversified board adds value to what they're doing. It is important to have people with different backgrounds and ways of thinking about things. Those were not high priorities maybe five or ten years ago." The changes don't happen overnight, as the board terms can take up to three years. Still, it is undeniable that companies are investing more in diversity, and the topic is widely discussed. "It's definitely changing the appearance and the dynamics in the boardroom," says Larry.

ASSOCIATIONS ADVANCING TALENT MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 147

In the United States, middle-market companies are responsible for employing 48 million people and also represent 33% of the country's GDP, according to Investopedia. Yet, many companies are still struggling to create efficient and diverse boards that help them grow; Private Directors Association is aiming at that market.

According to Larry, low and middle-market companies that aim to professionalize their boards should start with a well-defined board matrix and try to fill the gaps. He explains that knowing where the gaps are can help strengthen the board, positively impacting the company's management.

Another change highlighted by Larry is that it is becoming more common to see C-level executives sitting on outside boards other than their own company. The experience can benefit everyone involved, and Larry believes it might become a more standard practice in the future. Seeing how other companies deal with things can be a valuable experience and represents a constant educational process.

A board with the right people can help companies increase their value and face the challenges in a world where things change in a heartbeat. Companies seem to be more aware of it after the pandemic. "I think this is a great time for companies to sort that out. Companies are focusing on finding diverse talent to help with the evolution and needs of the different stakeholders."

As for King himself, he will continue to pursue his passion for helping companies thrive. "I am a learner, always looking for diverse challenges. I want to continue adding value to companies and seeing more generations succeed."

FOR MANY YEARS, King worked as a public accountant focused on clients in the middle market. After taking early retirement from public accounting in 2015, he decided to pursue his passion for helping these companies grow. He was determined to help "middle market and lower middle market companies grow, but from a different angle, basically serving as a board or advisory board role. I love working with entrepreneurs. It's just a vibrant space to be in," he says. A board of directors or advisory board can be a game changer for a company aiming to grow in a world that becomes more complex daily. They are responsible for providing leadership and strategic direction, and also mitigating risks. Larry has served as a board director or advisory board member for public and private l companies, and currently serves on several advisory boards including Amegy Bank Dallas and Kwivik Therapeutics. In 2019, Larry became a part of the Private Directors Association. This non-for-profit aims to improve private companies' growth and sustainability through governance that adds value. "It started as a local organization in Chicago, and now they've grown to 23 chapters and about 3,000 members nationally. It's grown very rapidly because there's a huge gap in the market," he explains. He currently serves as Programs Committee Chair and Sponsorship Committee Co-Chair for the Dallas-Fort Worth Chapter of PDA.

As a director, Garza adds value by hav ing a perceptive understanding on many issues, some of which naturally will be outside his expertise. "And the only way to do that is to have the ability to ask the questions that need to be asked, listen to the responses and thoughts of your fel low directors," he said. "You've also got to understand your environment, ana lyze risk, mitigate those risks, and then respond."

The story of Tony Garza Bill Sarno Courtesy of MoneyGram Luis E. González

After serving over six years as U.S. ambassador to Mexico under President George W. Bush, Antonio Garza faced a career change in 2009. He hoped it might allow him to stay in the country of his grandparents.

T he Ambassador grew up in Brownsville, Texas, where his grandparents had im migrated from Mexico. His father pumped gas a block from the international bridge. Humble beginnings but solid values are the foundation of his upbringing. In the Garza household, education was paramount and driven home by his mother, who died when he was young. "I heard so many times as a child, 'porque la educación nadie te la quita’ (transla tion, no one can take education away from you)," he recalled. The Texas native achieved this objective and developed a significant profile in the corporate world.

The former political trailblazer is now counsel in the Mexico City office of White & Case LLP, a leading global law firm, and is a member of several corpo rate boards. Garza has found that being a good director in a time of increased economic, social, and political challeng es means being able to offer sound judg ment on a wide range of issues.

The essence of effective board service, Garza suggests, is found in the writing of Israeli intellectual Yuval Noah Hara ri. In "21 Lessons for the 21st Century," the historian states that what is essential for success in the 21st Century is the ability to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate constructively, and be resilient and creative. As his ambassadorial term conclud ed, the Texan discussed his preference to remain in Mexico with friends and valued mentors. "One of them said I should consider a law firm. So instead of having one client, the U.S., I'd have the opportunity to represent multiple U.S. companies in Mexico," Garza said. "And that kind of made sense to me." At White & Case LLP, the South Texas native focuses on his clients and the various boardrooms where he now sits. "I take my duty to clients and share holders seriously," Garza said. Garza is a director of Kansas City Southern (a rail-based transportation company), chairman of its subsidiary Kansas City Southern de Mexico; MoneyGram; The Greenbrier Companies, and Americas Technology Acquisition Corp. Tony said board members face issues such as the pandemic, civil rights, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These situations have created challenges that encompass everything from trade and regulatory policy to supply chains, in flation and on economic downturn. For future generations to have more opportunity to serve on corporate boards, Garza said the focus should be on a combination of what he calls the GARZA EXPRESSED THE CRUCIAL NEED FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT FROM CORPORATE BOARDS TO DIVERSITY AND TO EXPANDING THEIR PERCEPTION OF WHAT MAKES A GOOD CANDIDATE.

'Big Three': awareness, advocacy, and accountability.Anotherchallenge Garza addressed is the disproportionately low representation of Latinos in their ranks. "Now, I'm not saying there is no progress, but it's been slow," he said. Garza expressed the crucial need for a more significant commitment from corporate boards to diversity and to expanding their percep tion of what makes a good candidate. Tony will continue to advocate for diversity in the board room and hopes to see real and rapid changes in Board composition for the next generations.

3. What have been some of the challenges you have faced as a female Latina advancing in corporate America?

1. How did your journey as a Board Trustee/ Director begin?

For most company boards, the role of the director is to represent the share holders/owners. The growth agenda is a key priority. Board directors provide input and guidance on business strate gy and ensure effective execution. They must ensure that the right leaders are in place to execute it. The board is also increasingly focused on evolving priorities, such as ESG and cy bersecurity efforts, providing input and oversight as appropriate.

01 Each board has a diverse slate of experienced, talented, and knowledgeable directors. AND

LRB: I am grateful to have been a part of great companies that valued diverse I’mthinking.alsoproud of the boards on which I serve. They are committed to diversity and recruit diverse directors to their boards.

I joined my first private company board 12 years ago. A board member from my former company invited me to join the board of his family-owned company, Culver’s Franchising Systems. A few years later, an executive search firm contacted me when I was CMO and CCO of Cigna. I joined my first public company board, Teradata (TDC). As you might expect, it was a very different board experience from a private compa ny Whenboard.I retired as an executive three years ago, a former colleague contact ed me for a seat at Selective Insurance Group, Inc. (SIGI). I joined the board in 2020. Through my Women Corporate Directors (WCD) network, I was intro duced to and joined Douglas Dynamics (PLOW) board in 2020. It has been rewarding and an honor to serve on the boards of these great com panies, acting in the best interests of shareholders and other key stakeholders.

5. What would be your advice for the next generations of Latinos wanting to advance onto corporate seats? LRB: Get board ready. Reach out to your network, share your board aspirations, and ask for guidance and support. Be clear about the type of board you are interested in and ask for consideration in an opportunity they think would be a good fit for you. It may also be helpful to participate in or ganizations and programs where you can learn more about the role of a board direc tor programs. Some of these are the Na tional Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), Latino Corporate Directors Association (LCDA), and 50/50 Women on Boards. Each provides excellent learn ing and networking opportunities. They also have local chapters that might allow you to engage more actively. **

2. How different/challenging is the role of a Corporate Director, as opposed to a C-suite executive? LRB: The roles are quite different, but you draw upon the experiences of both to support the other position. Board ser vice has allowed me the privilege of con tributing based on my experiences as an executive and learning from my fellow board directors. Each board has a diverse slate of expe rienced, talented, and knowledgeable directors. I feel privileged to be in their company.Asac-level executive, serving on boards helped me when I interacted with our board. I became more aware of what the board needed from my interactions as an executive with them. It helped me fo cus on being effective and efficient with those interactions. The role of a board director carries a huge responsibility, as you represent the com pany’s shareholders/owners. So, I don’t take lightly the need to come prepared and actively engage in the meetings.

4. In your opinion, which should be the top priorities for a corporate Trustee/Direc tor to maximize efficiency and support the LRB:Board/Company?

LRB: I started my board journey on a non-profit board. I learned much about the governance process and the role of a director. I also learned from engaging with other board members who were ex ecutives from different industries.

At Selective Insurance, for example, the most recent board director placements in cluded two African American leaders and a Hispanic female. The board is 35% diverse, and both the board and the CEO, who is the chairperson of the board, are com mitted to advancing our diversity efforts. Clearly, the board and the senior leaders understand —and value— diverse per spectives on the board and in the company. And it’s a testament to diversity to hear the words, “hmm, I hadn’t thought about it that way,” during board discussions.

Cristy began her career as a Journalism major but has moved in a different direction, achieving well-rounded professional expertise and perspective. Currently, she serves as Chief External Affairs Officer for Advocate Aurora Health. Cristy is responsible for the overall patient, team member and community partner experience. She oversees DE&I, interpreter services, community clinical relations, charitable giving and community health programs & services. Her journey as Board Director began in 2018 when Delta Dental of Wisconsin recruited her for a board seat. Then two years ago, she joined the Board of Directors of WEC Energy Group. As a board member and C-suite executive, Cristy knows the importance of balancing work and board responsibilities. She works hard to prioritize her day job while simultaneously remaining committed to her board work. “It’s all about accountability, balance and planning. You need to make sure you carve out time on your calendar to prepare. This creates the space and place to hone in on strategy and truly understand how your decisions impact those you are accountable to like shareholders,” Cristy highlights. Being a Latina advancing in the corporate environment has not always been easy. As she rose through ranks, oftentimes she was the youngest or only woman of color in the room. Instead of letting this deter her, Cristy used her life experience as her strength and remained confident in her leadership abilities. “I was sure of how far I could go. It would have been easy to doubt myself. Ultimately, I knew that my perspective was something that needed to be heard and could create a new company landscape,” says Garcia-Thomas. She says this was also fueled by surrounding herself with the right people. “I am grateful for good leaders who empowered me, allowing me to grow professionally.”

CRISTY is a second-generation born American of Mexican descent. She highly praises the value of education, as it has deeply influenced her actions and decisions throughout life. She is a first-generation college graduate who has seen how having adequate education will undoubtedly open more and better professional opportunities.

Cristy wants to change that. “I want to open doors and give back some of the support I’ve had in my life that others do not have. There are not enough Hispanics advancing on the corporate pipeline.”

INTERVIEW

CRISTYWITHGARCIA-THOMAS

CHIEF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS OFFICER FOR ADVOCATE AURORA HEALTH

Cristy has continued her path into her current position at Advocate Aurora Health and positions on corporates board. She earned these roles from her proven leadership abilities, emotional intelligence and resilience. Additionally, she brings a solid foundation in understanding talent management, ESG and strong financial acumen through innovation, market growth and consumer loyalty while ensuring the financial success of the company. Beyond all of this though, Cristy says everything is rooted in being herself. “No matter the role, it’s truly about being genuine and creating an environment where others can be themselves. This creates a space where all the voices at the table are heard leading to a strong corporate culture. In the end, this is critical for a company’s success,” she highlights. Another key commitment for Cristy is to give back to the Hispanic community. Most Hispanic communities are underseen and underserved.

The future will still bring many accomplishments for Garcia-Thomas. She wants to continue working on closing the equity gap, helping communities to eliminate the barriers – empowering them to live better lives and have better opportunities. “There are places where your well-being depends on your birth zip code. This defines the quality of education, healthcare and the probabilities of success you will have, and it is not right,” she emphasizes. She also wants to expand her influence in the corporate environment, serving on different boards. “I want to positively impact strategies, allowing companies to flourish and grow with responsibility.”

Connelly also finds the director role has evolved for the better; now, being one is di rectly translated to being engaged, prepared, and knowledgeable with a balance of over seeing and supporting. Board Committees also play a significant role in the company's advancement, ensuring that its strategy is log ical, reliable, and correct. According to her, corporate boards in crease accountability and bring fresh ideas that push companies to think about struggles they might not be facing today but that they'll be meeting in the future. "Boards will have distinctive types of talent and capabilities such as cybersecurity, AI, and financial abil ities. They'll become stronger in the future with new voices in hand." This leads us into one of the great conver sations surrounding corporate boards today, diversity. "Today, we have different voices in the room, which we really need. Most of us are bet ter than just one of us. When you have a team from various backgrounds attacking a problem, the final product will be much more effective."

However, not all diverse groups are ad vancing at the same pace. "I don't see as many Latinos yet, but I know it's just a matter of time. There's a significant number of great executives out there," says Connelly. She feels satisfied with her work as she reflects on it today. Deirdre Connelly has an admirable vocation for what she does. After all her adventures, she still has a long way to go and new things to continue learning.

A CONVERSATION WITH DEIRDRE CONNELLY, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, GENMAB FROM INTROVERTED TO DIRECTING 3 MAJOR COMPANIES

AND AS A LATINA growing in corporate America, chal lenges were inevitable. "When I was raised, they would tell us that the polite thing to do was to let others speak and listen. I had to change that when I came into corporate America. I learned how to speak up and make my point." With time she overcame obstacles and now stands among leaders. A robust background stands with 30 years of experience; Deirdre is the Chairman of the Board of GENMAB, an interna tional biotech company, and is a Director of both Macy's Corpo ration, one of the nation's largest retailers, and Lincoln Financial Group, an insurance company with over 9,000 employees. "I've been lucky to have boards in different industries, al lowing me to continue learning." Connelly reminisces about her beginnings on corporate boards in 2007, the year she was among the Fifty Most Powerful Women Deirdre Conelly is a one-of-a-kind businesswoman. Due to her extensive experience, her expertiseranges from business management and strategicplanning to talent development, marketing, andcorporate culture transformation. She was bornand raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and has worked her way through the corporate world.

Luisana Rodríguez Courtesy of Deirdre Connelly Carlos Cuevas in Business according to Fortune Magazine, the title she replicated eight times. "Several compa nies recruited me towards the end of 2007. But I chose Macy's because it was an iconic brand, something that's part of all our lives. My mother had told me stories about her visiting the store in NYC, so I thought, 'Why not?'" Other significant awards she received were the Key to the City of San Juan, Puerto Rico, back in 2006, the title of Woman of The Year by the Pharma Business Association in 20082009, and a feature in The New York Times' column "The Boss" in 2013. But corporate boards were not always Deirdre's obvious choice, "when I was young, and people spoke about boards, the image was one that I wasn't attracted to at the be ginning. Then I started having different posi tions and working more closely with Boards, so I changed my perspective and understood their value -especially the richness of having other opinions to guide a business better."

GD: Over 25 years, I had the great fortune and pleasure of working as an executive with some of America’s biggest and finest companies: P&G, Coca-Cola, and The Walt Disney Company, among others. I was lucky to work with exceptional executives who believed in me and mentored me along the way. I do know of many people who were not as lucky. While I was able to ascend to the senior executive ranks, it did not come easy. I always felt that I needed to work twice as hard and deliver outsized results to prove my worth.

Board diversity goes well beyond race, gender, and identity. Boards today are looking to add “subject matter experts” who extend well beyond traditional Board roles. I believe, in my case, I have been able to contribute to areas of broad marketing, including how to better connect authentically with Multicultural and diverse segments as well as help define brand purpose. Prioritizing culture in our communications is key to helping drive sales lifts. Issues of human capital, workforce and systems transformation as well as keeping pace with an ever-changing landscape are also being prioritized in corporate Boards. We’re inching forward, but there is a lot of work ahead.

In your opinion, how are companies benefited from having a diverse board?

How different/challenging is the role of a Corporate Director, as opposed to a C-suite executive?

GD: I would first start by indicating the similarity. Both groups (Directors and C-suite) drive toward a common goal – to work hard as a team to grow the business and increase shareholder value. Board members have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders by ensuring it institutes and executes proper governance of the company. It is the management’s responsibility to “manage the business.” It is both an exciting and challenging time to serve on the Board of publicly traded companies. The pandemic, fast-paced technological changes and unstable economic times have forced Boards to rethink their go-to-market strategies and seek out different kinds of expertise.

GD: It does not take long for a Board to reap the benefits of becoming more diverse. Boards are being refreshed with new and often diverse Directors who are adding new skills and perspectives like never before. Diversity often elevates thinking, creativity, problem solution and business results. Diversity also shows you care for all your constituencies, which is another dimension I admire about Cracker Barrel. Cracker Barrel’s focus on care is infused in everything it does, as we work to represent the communities in which we do business, including through our talent partnerships, employee development, recruiting and training, internal communications and how we treat each other daily.

GD: Becoming a Board member for a publicly traded company became part of my 25-year plan when I started my professional career with P&G back in the mid-80s. Back then, I used to sift through countless annual reports and developed a great admiration for Board members largely because of their professional accomplishments as well as their significant responsibility and accountability to work with management to help drive shareholder value. Not seeing anyone who looked like me back then doubled my resolve to attain that goal and hopefully serve as an inspiration for other Latinos to believe they could also be elected to serve. To gain experience, I served on profit and non-profit Boards, but I am particularly proud of having been elected to serve on the Cracker Barrel Board. Cracker Barrel is a favorite brand that has been “pleasing people” for over 50 years and employs over 70,000. I am honored to serve for such a company.

What would be your advice for the next generations of Latinos wanting to advance onto corporate seats? GD: I take pride in coaching and mentoring a new generation of Latinos in their efforts to rise in corporate ranks. While I am optimistic to see a growing number of Latinos getting ready to earn well-deserved promotions to the most senior levels and be considered to join Boards, we are still a long road away from reaching a more equitable marketplace. Work hard throughout your career develop track record yourself a out building a strong network of allies Unabashedly, seek out coaching and mentoring Write a long-term plan of how you intend to achieve goals and monitor over time smaller Boards (both non-profits and for-profits) and move your way up.

What have been some of the challenges you have faced while advancing in corporate America?

WITH 26 YEARS of experience in distinguished companies like Walmart and Sam's Club, Gisel Ruiz is a global chief executive, board director, strategic advisor, and speaker. She is an Independent Board Director for brands including Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc., serving her passion of contributing significantly to a company while enjoying the success she and her husband have realized over the past two decades. As the first in her family to go to college, her parents taught her that the only challenges they would face were those she allowed to affect her. She was taught to believe that there is nothing she cannot do as long as she works hard. “I realized and appreciated that I was the first woman and Latina in many of my roles. I never viewed it as a disadvantage. I was confident I would provide a unique and fresh perspective in the roles I held because I’m Latina. In my mind, that would always be an advantage." Her parents' values of integrity, tenacity, and perseverance are why she can follow her dreams. According to her, "my father never went to school, and my mother has no further education than middle school. Nonetheless, they both were brilliant, ambitious, hard-working people who each opened up a small business in California.”  As time passed and her exposure grew, Gisel began her journey as a board director. She reminisced about her first exposure when she was an executive at Walmart: “In my roles occasionally I presented in front of the Board. Each presentation was like a coaching session from a group of world class executives and directors who guided me through their engagement in and outside of the board room." As part of her development, Walmart offered her the opportunity to serve on three different boards inside the company, "I was fine-tuning my own strategic thought process while I was providing value." Her best advice to a future board director is to provide questions and insights that help management's think through key strategic decisions. The interactions with management and board colleagues continually builds your base of knowledge beyond your previous experience, Ruiz adds. “Besides your fiduciary duties and board responsibilities, you are contributing to the team's development." When reflecting on what should be the top priority for a corporate director to maximize their efficiency, Gisel states that it’s been challenging after the pandemic's impact on the economy. “Priorities have intensified - global challenges, investor pressures, the uncertainty of uncertain times, plus a stakeholders set that is continually expanding have all added a level of complexity to how boards balance time and resources." Consequently, discussing the benefits of having a diverse board is essential. Ruiz points out the many reports and studies on the performance level of companies with diverse boards, such as Cracker Barrel Old Country Store where she became a director in 2020, versus those who don't have diversity in their team. Ruiz says, "Whether at board-level or management level, diversity is not something corporations should ignore." Gisel likes to emphasize that the richness of diversity does not only come from ethnicity, but it is a mix of all human experiences throughout their life. Gisel is proud to be part of a generation of trailblazers breaking down barriers for gender and ethnicity and paying it forward is part of her mission. Ruiz advises taking risks in one's profession and doing jobs that push outside the comfort zone. "Risks and new experiences are going to broaden your skill set and perspective. No matter the outcome, it’s one step closer to success because you’ve learned something new. Be resilient, persevere," urges Gisel. Gisel Ruiz has been on this unique career path. She represents Hispanic grit and determination in the U.S. and can now reap the rewards of the seed her parents planted years ago.

During his career, Carrillo never felt being a Latino was a disadvantage and claims there are many opportunities for those willing to work hard. "I did not even think about it. People often ask, 'How do you feel in a room full of white people?' I feel anything. I'm just another person." "I have a lot of respect for Trinity. They really pulled me out an operations job in Mexico, brought me here, and allowed me to run businesses in the US and eventually put me on the board," says Carrillo. He is also thrilled with the future of Arcosa, as they recently have made 16 acquisitions. "We're transforming it dramatically from a fabricator to a mining company, so the years ahead of us will be of transformation and growth. I'm very excited about our team and prospects," he Corporationsexplains. are rapidly changing, but Carrillo believes that the formula for success remains the same. "You have to work harder than anyone else and be willing to sacrifice some things. People have to know that life is not perfect. There's a series of sacrifices you have to do in your life to be able to continue to succeed."

Luana Ferreira Courtesy of Antonio Carrillo F. Izquierdo

Carrillo highlights that people can miss opportunities working remotely fulltime, as the in-person work helps build trust and relationships. The Mexicanborn executive started his career 25 years ago, and creating those connections at work allowed him to stand out.

He worked 17 years at Trinity Industries in Dallas, Texas, and later became the CEO of one of the largest companies in Mexico. As Trinity needed to strengthen their presence in Mexico, they'd invited Carrillo to be part of its board of directors, and later, he also joined the board of Dr. Pepper. "What they needed at that time was someone with deep knowledge of the Mexican market, as they have a lot of operations there. And I think that also led me to that board." Carillo is currently part of the board of directors at NRG Energy, and he highlights the roles of a CEO and a board member are very different. "You're not there to operate, as it's an oversight function. You have to give your opinion and be as forthcoming as possible, but always know your position is not as a management team," he adds.

THE WORLD IS CHANGING, but the key to success is still the same Antonio Carrillo, CEO of Arcosa, shares his thoughts on being a Board Director. IN THE LAST YEARS, ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) have been at the front and center of discussions in different industries. Antonio Carrillo, CEO at Arcosa and Independent Director at NRG Energy, has been following the topics closely and affirms they aren't only corporate trends. According to Carrillo, there is a high demand for diversity on boards, and companies can benefit from that. The focus is on hiring highly qualified people who bring variety to the boards. "If you don't have diversity, you only get one side of the coin. You only get one view of the world, and the world is not black and white. The more diversity you have, the more shades of gray you will see, and the management team can make better decisions with a broader perspective," he says. ESG is another challenge for companies. It used to be that companies were only focused on meeting regulations. Today, companies need to strive to meet the expectations of many stakeholders, employees, shareholders, customers, communities, etc. So, it is extremely important that companies develop cultures that support social and environmental issues. The post-pandemic world introduced new changes, as workers are demanding more flexibility. Although remote work became a reality for many people, Carrillo believes each industry is different. "You have to balance the realities of the companies. If you work in a company where everything is remote, I think you're fine. But if you work at a company like ours where most of the work is done daily in a plant, you must be present and respect the people who show up every day at the plants,” claims Carrillo.

"I HAVE EXPERIENCED BIAS IN THE WORKPLACE, BUT I’VE BEEN COMMITTED TO MY OWN POTENTIAL AND HAVE STAYED FOCUSED ON MY GOALS.”

To Sandra, it all relies on her inner strength and sense of accomplishment. "Of course, I have experienced bias in the workplace, but I’ve been committed to my own potential and have stayed focused on my goals. If I weren't as driven and unable to let things roll off my shoulders, I probably would have been much more impacted throughout my career," she said.

Sandra also has entrepreneurial plans and will continue to build on her already robust skillset. "Half of me feels like I am just beginning," she added.

Bill Sarno Courtesy of Sandra Campos F. Izquierdo

For the future, Campos said, "I know my strengths in building global businesses and am continuing to look at board opportunities, and if an operator role becomes available that is innovative and exciting to me then I will certainly consider that” she said.

When asked about the challenges she faced, Campos is nonchalant about any hurdles she encountered due to her gender and race. "I look at things as a glass half full. The opportunities I have had -experiences, good or bad, have always given me more skills and knowledge that I have used to improve myself and truly understand my value to any organization.”

ACCORDING TO Sandra Campos, those aspiring to join a corporate board of directors must be keenly aware of their value to the board room. This tenet, along with a solid entrepreneurial sense and passion for continuous learning, has been a hallmark of Campos's career in the fashion and retail industry. She has served as a top-level operator and brand builder for fashion and retail industry icons such as Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan. She also created entertainer Selena Gomez's first lifestyle brand and was chief executive officer for fashion company DVF: Diane von Furstenberg. In May 2021, Campos, -a Californian-born, daughter of Mexican immigrants-joined the board of directors of Big Lots Stores. "I am passionate about the store and the customers they serve. Even before joining the board, I would shop at their store on weekends, so it is an honor to serve the company," she said. Sandra's work ethic is remarkable and rooted in her personal history. As a teenager, Campos would work with her siblings at their father's tortilla factory in Grand Prairie, Texas. "We all hated it at the time," she said, "but I realized later that this work impacted my view from an entrepreneurial standpoint, work ethic, and logistics." Strength and self-worth were also values she learned and later displayed.

LATINOS ON CORPORATE BOARDS MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 157

Wanting to help the next generation of Latina business leaders, Campos is active with the Latino Corporate Directors Association and advises startup founders in tech and consumer. She also recently launched Fashion Launchpad, a digital education platform to help women and people of color advance professionally by learning digital and next generation skills. Her advice to potential board candidates is to focus on building a network of mentors who believe in your potential, continuing to learn while staying on top of the latest business trends, and confidently knowing your value card. Moreover, she stresses building a personal brand, which starts "with how you present yourself and position yourself where people can find you, especially on social media.”

We were fortunate to have a Nom/Gov committee chair at Honeywell that was progressive, strate gic and proactive.

INTERVIEW

1. How did your journey as a Board Trustee/ Director begin?

GL: An inclusive and diverse board is essential. First, employ ees will look at a company’s board and compare that to what the company is saying about diversity to see if there is a conflict. Second, having diverse perspectives on a board is an important part of maintaining our duties to sharehold ers and other stakeholders. Lastly, with the rise of the focus on ESG, investors are increasingly demanding that a com pany’s Board be diverse.

GL: Because of who I am, and how I was raised, I sometimes see things differently from my colleagues. There is always a balance between fitting into a culture and maintaining your uniqueness. This isn’t always easy. Sometimes you need to stand firm on a position that is different from oth ers. In the end, I believe that my qualities as a Latina have helped me to be successful.

2. Please share your thoughts on the role and relevance of the Nomi nating-Governance Committees at the Board of Directors?

THERE IS ALWAYS A BALANCE BETWEEN FITTING INTO A CULTURE AND MAINTAINING YOUR UNIQUENESS.

GL: There are several trends on the horizon. First, under standing ESG is increasingly becoming an area that is es sential, and not discretionary. Second, the whole discus sion of risk and how boards and companies plan for risk is also critical. Lastly, the practice of outreach with investors is becoming more important and expected.

GL: We were living in Mexico City at the time, and became friends with our neighbors. They suggested that I look into joining a Board, because of my background and experienc es. I enrolled in the Women in Governance course at the Kellogg School at Northwestern University to learn more about Board Governance. Shortly after, I was contacted by a recruiter about a Board opportunity at Honeywell, where I was later selected.

ER: One must remember, though, that these are limited op portunities because of the finite number of public compa nies. And because they are limited, they are competitive, so you need to bear in mind that what you bring to the board table engenders the chance to be recruited to serve. To accomplish this, you need to blaze your trail of success in particular industries and disciplines within the sectors. There is no substitute for hard work and accomplishment. To get to the top, you must be willing to work to climb to get there. Being a Latino is an added plus for cultural rich ness. Still, in the end, your intellectual and business acumen determines the value base of what you offer.

5. How are D&I strategies changing board composition? What are the benefits?

2. What are the main characteristics of a successful leader, and which leader ship values are essential in shaping a company's future growth?

ER: D&I presents an opportunity to attract and develop non-majority individuals with the talent base required to be effective directors. However, this process should reflect the Board's talent needs and qualities. Not imposed on a di rected basis as has been done in Europe by regulatory fiat or in California through legislation. The directed model runs the real risk of demeaning the talent and qualifications of the “diverse” individual and fails to recognize the basis by which a corporation seeks and engages Director talent.

THE WILLINGNESS TO DO A GREAT JOB

ER: The c-suite Executive's responsibility is the company's management under the Board's strategic direction. They must ensure the business's objectives are met and challenges are addressed. They should work with the Board to maneuver through the risks and develop opportunities for creating more significant value for the business. The Board focuses on the long-term value of the business and the preserva tion and growth of the different stakeholders. As a Board member, you usually utilize your experience to render wisdom, knowledge, judgment, and direction to the C-suite management. As well as create the strategy that will enhance the business and its profitable operation.

ER: An effective leader is a strong listener and presenter of concepts and ideas, tethered in the reality and financial basis of the business to lead the employees and talent to the best outcome for the company, investors, and stakeholders. Developing a strategy based on market conditions and op portunities, which are ethical and practical, is critical to a business's longterm success. An effective leader seeks to work through the team they have assembled, providing the opportunity for individual talent use and growth that benefits both the individual and the organization. Must also be suffi ciently introspective yet confident to convey assurance and steadfastness in the face of crisis and during periods of success -enhancing both confi dence and support in the leader's direction and efforts. An effective leader sets the example and lives the standard, "walks the Talk."

Also, support and respect the human talent required to succeed and balance that recognition with the requirement that everyone is rowing in the same direction. The most effective way to ensure a successful op eration is to combine the talent, wisdom, and capabilities of board members who work collegially and collaboratively.

In conversations with board members, she has found that board effectiveness is overwhelmingly benefitted from improved board diversity.

AS MORE CORPORATIONS recognize the value of bringing more Latinos and members of other underrepresented groups into their board room, the selection of directors is becoming a dynamic process that emphasizes more than checking off the right boxes or even meeting quota"Thererules.has to be an understanding that promoting diversity only for the sake of being able to disclose you have board diversity isn't going to have the same impact," said Kaley Childs Karaffa, Head of Board Advisory in the Americas at Nasdaq where she advises boards on corporate governance matters. To be effective, implementing diversity should be coupled with developing an inclusive culture and environment, said Karaffa. In advocating for board diversity, Karaffa stresses that director and executive management must understand that having people with different backgrounds and skill sets in the boardroom can prevent risks and bolster more significant innovation. These are the foundational elements of sustainable, durable, and high-potential organizations, said Karaffa, who joined Nasdaq in 2019 to help develop their Board Advisory and Compliance Solutions services. Karaffa also has a legal background; she graduated from the Pace University School of Law and worked as a practicing attorney in New York and subsequently served as general counsel of a manufacturing corporation. At Nasdaq, she became part of an organization that has made championing inclusive growth and prosperity its corporate purpose. Beyond serving as an exchange, Nasdaq supports thousands of public and private corporations worldwide with corporate governance services to help them function effectively and have the right technology and insight to drive growth and prosperity, Karaffa said. In recent years, factors such as the pandemic technology advancements, and complex business and geopolitical environments have put pressure on how boards oversee their corporations and interact with the management team. "With those demands, we have started to see some improvement in the quality of personal characteristics that are represented because it enables boards to better understand these issues and their impact on the corporation," said Karaffa. Last year, Nasdaq implemented a disclosure rule that recommends diverse representation objectives. "We are starting to see the disclosures of board diversity in proxy statements along with an increased awareness around the importance of diversity of all types this is promoting," Karaffa said.

To experience positive impact, board members, led by board chairs and committee chairs, should have an open conversation to understand how diversity will enable individual and group effectiveness, Karaffa said.

Recently, Alba accepted a global leadership role in the firm and along with other firm leaders, he is excited to continue partnering with clients to think about what more can be done to elevate Hispanic communities in corporate and board positions to ensure adequate representation. “If you look at the Board Monitor U.S. 2022, a report by Heidrick & Struggles¹, you will find fortune 500 company board appointments, as well as new director roles and wom en as directors, are rising because of the DE&I move ment.”Alba expects to see boards adding more people with technology and HR expertise and continuing to build the wide range of commercial knowledge they started in 2020.

Increasingly companies see the link between their company’s business strategy and DE&I strategy are changing and recognize the im portance of enhancing the board’s thinking about their own role in DE&I efforts. “I have hopes for the flywheel effect resulting in better representation of the Hispanic and Latino/a community, by the pull effect into the C-suite level.

They will be the new wave to build a broader remit, defining the skills needed and the val ue-added - breaking the mentality of having a CEO or CFO on the board. “It’s only going to get better with the first-time board members,” says Alba.

2. What part of your job focuses on searching for Latinos for Corpo rate positions?

1. Explain your current position within Korn Ferry.

Courtesy of Joe Griesedieck Carlos Cuevas

JG: Today, I am the Vice-Chairman of Korn Ferry and responsible for developing and overseeing the firm’s Board Advisory Practice. I joined Korn Ferry in 2004. I have been in the executive search profession for over 40 years.

JG: As with all board openings and longer-term director succes sion planning, we seek a diverse slate of candidates for every role, including Latino and Latina executives. To ensure that every candidate brings relevant experience to a board, we look for the appropriate industry and functional expertise among all candidates, including the foregoing community of business executives.

8. What advice would you give Latinos wanting to join as Board Directors?

MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 165 where it is evident that Latino candidates would best represent communities that the company serves (geographic, de mographic, or otherwise). In that case, we will make specific recommendations of Latino candidates whom we believe would add strategic value to the board. In a more general sense, we are also aware that Latinos represent a significant and growing part of the U.S. population (20%). However, they are under-repre sented on boards, including by compar ison to other ethnic communities and gender groups.

JG: There are several challenges in my cur rent role. First, with the demand for di verse director candidates, finding those individuals with the time and interest to serve. In some cases, these are execu tives who have not previously served on a public or private company board. So, it is crucial to ensure that they bring the rel evant skills, experience, knowledge, and judgment to perform in a value-added way as a board member.

6. How are companies benefited from a diverse JG:Board? The value of a diverse board reflects in how the board can hear different points of view and opinions. Having one person of gender or ethnic diversity on the board does not make it a diverse board. Howev er, the conversation changes when at least one-third of the board or more is com prised of diverse directors. Diverse board members bring different perspectives, ex periences, and in some cases thinking styles that enrich the quality of board discussions and debates. There is empirical evidence that companies with this diversity level on their boards outperform their peers.

7. What challenges are you facing within your current role?

JG: Boards today are looking at their com position in a much more strategic way. Due to increased pressure from investor and shareholder interest groups, boards are deliberately adding members who fill gaps in their strategic makeup or add new skills and insights to changing strategies or company transformations. Investors want boards with the knowledge and skills that align with the company’s strategy.

4. From your perspective, what is the current corporate environment – what are companies looking for?

JG: There has never been a better time for Latinos who are interested in and qualified to serve as board directors to utilize and extend their networks to let people know that they have this interest. In addition to the executive search firms, the growing Latino pro fessional networks and publications (Latino Leaders, LCDA, Latina Style, Nueva and others) have been proactive in bringing Latino executives to the at tention of boards. For me, bringing more Latinos onto boards is not so much about increasing the diversity of the board as it is about adding cultural, social, and business perspectives that will enhance the quality of board discussions and help the company leadership confirm a long-term strategy and business transformation. To me, a truly diverse board is one that has relevant but multiple experiences, skills, and knowledge, represents vari ous stakeholders (customers, employees, and suppliers), and brings diverse per spectives to board discussions based on all of these.

The Korn Ferry board, an NYSE-listed company, is a good example. The board has 10 independent members, includ ing a former Latino CEO, an African American former CEO, four females, and a soon-to-be-added Asian-Ameri can former F500 CEO. The nature of our business is around leadership and talent development on a global basis, so it is a very appropriate mix of expe riences, views, interests, and opinions. I am hopeful that we will see (and we will undoubtedly promote) a great er interest from boards in candidates who come from the Latino communi ty. It is a rich source of talent for com pany boards.

Second, given the dominance of fe male and African American executives who have been brought onto boards in recent years, it has been challenging to get boards to recognize that there is an equally qualified and available community of experienced executives in the lesser represented Latino and Asian-American business population.

5. How are DEI initiatives influencing the search for positions? JG: DEI initiatives encompass corporate hiring, development, and promotion, as well as board appointment initiatives. In the case of boards, the value should still be in the experience, qualifications, and strategic relevance that a potential direc tor brings and should not be driven by diversity alone.

Every one of the following names is a hidden jewel of corporate execution and effectiveness that will enrich the Board Director practice in Corporate America.

Perhaps the most vital mission to advance the number of Latinos on Corporate Boards is to showcase the pipeline of talented and experienced individuals with enough credentials and skills to seat on a corporate Board. This list is perhaps the core of our mission, to provide that pipeline of individuals interested and capable of performing an outstanding role as Directors.

As a woman in technology, I’ve always been passionate about representing the strength and talent of women within the industry. But in recent years, I’ve learned to appreciate that not only am I a woman in technology; I am also a Latina in a leadership position in corporate America. And representation matters.

THE SIGNIFICANCE of representation became personal when a woman approached me after I finished a panel discussion with other technology executives. She shook my hand, with emotion in her eyes and said, “I’m so happy I get to tell my son that a person with an accent can be an executive at a large corporation.” It was 2016, and I had never considered there were still Latino youth—even adults— who believed their accents would be an obstacle to attaining execu tive positions. It was a reminder that we, as Latinos, could be holding ourselves back from professional growth. I decided from that day forward, I would help break down misconceptions and barriers to help highlight the talent, accomplishments, and perspectives Latinos bring to the table. I’m honored to help spotlight the 100 Latino Leaders Candidates for Boards who represent the cultural awareness, expertise, and vi sion needed on corporate boards of directors. I imagine everyone on this list has, at one point or another, experienced a simple, yet profound realization that we are representing more than ourselves and our families—we are an example to a rising generation of Latino professionals aspiring to serve in executive positions. Diversity on corporate boards extends beyond opportunity for equal representation. It’s an economic imperative. It would be a strategic loss for corporations to miss out on the $2.3T purchasing power of the Latino community, which today represents 18% of the

I hope we can all appreciate and value the unique perspectives and talents of the Latino leaders who serve on corporate boards. We need their representation, and we are seeing great results from their inclusion—even if they have an accent.

United States population. But still, Latinos make up only 2.7% of board seats on the Fortune 1000. So, today I also have a message for board directors: The history of the corporate Latino is one of breaking misconcep tions along the way. Let’s do that right now. A recent KPMG study showed that 30% of directors still believe that one of barriers in get ting more diversity for the boards is the lack of talent. Look through the list of Latinos included in this very edition. When reading about the diverse skill and experiences that these professionals represent, there is no denying that the talent is there. The tenacity, commit ment and vision that helped us get to the table is what companies need to grow in today’s hyper competitive and global environment. Are the leaders on this list the exception? No, they are the tip of the spear. Behind them is a new wave of strong, passionate and tal ented Latino professionals who we need to prepare and nurture for the executive ranks. As we work together to invest in Latino exec utives, corporate boards will more fully represent and benefit the consumers, communities, employees and shareholders we serve.

fluencing the CEO to make the best decision for the company. And they are so different in terms of interaction and how far you can go. You cannot operate the business," he says.

Having the chance to experience both po sitions is a thrilling experience for Arana. As a board member, he has the time to analyze and reflect, directly impacting his job as a CEO when he asks for advice.

A CONVERSATION WITH JOSE MANUEL

Arana is not afraid of changes and is pas sionate about reinventing business. Of course, diversity is a key driver at the moment, and it is crucial for companies. "Regardless if you are Latino, Indian or Chinese, I think boards are required to have different backgrounds and mindsets. People have different experiences throughout their lives. It is very satisfying to join a diverse board, rich discussions and shape better ideas," he says.

HIS CAREER started in the early 1980s at the Dow Chemical Company, where he had the chance to work in different positions in Brazil and the United States for two decades. After that, he returned to Mexico, where he worked as the CEO of Tyson Foods for six years. Arana has been a board member for dif ferent Mexican companies for over 20 years, including Citrofrut and Protexa. As a CEO, Arana's primary expertise is mergers & acquisitions (M&A). "When I was at Dow Chemical, I headed the Glob al Strategy Group for about three years in our corporate headquarters in Indianapo lis," he says. His leadership style is focused on people, ensuring the employees' potential and placing them in the most suitable position. His main challenge as a CEO is to speed up technolo gy transformation, aiming to serve customers and suppliers better. Working as a CEO and a board member gave Arana a new perspective on both roles, which are entirely different according to him. Arana explains that as a CEO, executives must present initiatives and strategic moves. "You must work and weave between all the stakeholder groups so the company can make the best decision. But you're driving a lot of that influence," explains Arana.

On the other hand, board members often navigate differently in a company. "You are in Jose Manuel Arana is the CEO of Nadro, a company focused on pharmaceutical distribution.

However, a Corporate Board constantly faces challenges; Arana lists three ideas for better board practices. The first is to know where they want to take the business. The sec ond step is "making an in-depth assessment of their top-level people. And make the hard de cisions early so that you can have a good team for that vision," Arana says. Yet, the most criti cal part is the execution. "You can have a good strategy, but nothing happens if you don't execute properly." In the coming years, Arana sees himself more involved in board positions. "Most of my career has been globally, and I think I can contribute a lot to someone that aspires to grow globally," he says. Education is a crucial value as he thrives on knowledge. "I plan on preparing myself to continue improving as a board member and always staying up to date with the best board practices."

The top executive has spent nearly four decadesworking for different industries (biotechnology,food, auto parts and pharma) and has lived inBrazil, the United States, China, and Europeancountries. Arana is considered a reference in his area, but despite his experience, he is still planningto evolve and learn.

“I THINK THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES IN THE AVIATION INDUSTRY ARE THOSE RELATED TO FLYING HIGH WHILE KEEPING OUR FEET ON THE GROUND”

In addition, in November 2016, the Volaris Costa Rica subsidiary was inaugurated as part of Volaris' international expansion to offer flights within the central American region at ultra-low-cost fares. In August 2021, we obtained the Air Operator Certificate in El Salvador.  Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019, Volaris has retained its place as Mexico's top airline and is among the top three airlines worldwide with the strongest recovery.

I proud myself of being a Member of the IATA Board of Governors, and a National Board Member of the Coordinating Council of Women Entrepreneurs.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE, VOLARIS Briefly share highlights of your background and professional EB:experience.

I am the founder, Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors of Volaris, the Mexican ultra-low-cost airline operating in Mexico, the U.S., Central America and South America. Although my professional career in the aerospace industry began in 1988, I had always been passionate about aviation since I was a child. I remember myself playing with planes instead of cars and joining my father on several adventures while flying our family Cessna.

ENRIQUEADOINGTRANSCENDINGWHATYOULOVE:STORYOFSUCCESSINAVIATIONBELTRANENA

Courtesy of Enrique Beltranena F. Izquierdo

Now, in terms of my professional incursion in the industry, I would have to start in Guatemala in the 1990’s when, as general manager of Aviateca, I supported the commercial merger of that company as well as Sahsa in Honduras, Nica in Nicaragua, and Lacsa in Costa Rica, into Grupo TACA. For over ten years in this new airline, I held several positions such as Chief Operating Officer, Vice President of Human Resources and Institutional Relations, and Vice President of Cargo and Commercial Director for Mexico and Central America.  In 2005 a group of visionaries and myself started developing the Volaris project based on an innovative ultra-low-cost business model to offer the lowest base fares, complimentary services, and outstanding customer service. Our first flight took off on March 13th in 2006. With that, a new era in Mexico’s aviation began by democratizing the skies so that more people could fly.  In 2013 I led the company to complete its initial public offer, as well as trading on the Mexican Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. This placed Volaris among the top five publicly traded airlines in Latin America.

You have been very successful in a highly complex industry: aviation. In your opinion, what has been the key to your success  EB: Without any doubt, the Volaris family has been fundamental to our success and reinvention throughout the years. I have an outstanding executive committee, a first-class directors’ team, and the most talented people in the industry. They all have helped Volaris navigate through many challenges and taken our company to the next level.

As a Latino top executive, what is the greatest asset you can bring to a Corporate Board?  EB: Experience, Business intelligence, Empowerment, Leadership. All of which I could not offer without the guidance and expertise of the right people.

What has been the biggest challenge within your current role?  EB:  We have already talked about the health crisis, which I believe was the biggest challenge not only for any CEO, but for the entire world.  Apart from this, I think the biggest challenges in the aviation industry are those related to flying high while keeping our feet on the ground: there will always be a financial, traffic, fleet, or environmental goal, but we must deliver with a strong sense of our number one priority. In a globalized world you will always encounter best practices, challenging scenarios, disruptive markets, and new travel trends, but that does not mean we can forget our business fundamentals: people and safety. In the case of Volaris, people represent our Family and safety represents our DNA.

MAY / JUNE 2022 LATINO LEADERS 227

It doesn’t come without saying that every crisis is an opportunity, and especially in this industry you learn to make this statement your mantra.

The growth of the middle class in Mexico has also been crucial to Volaris' success as the demand for air travel and the shift from long-haul bus travel to air - Volaris' main strategy to serve the VFR market (visiting friends and relatives) - continues to grow robustly.

“IT HAS A LOT TO DO WITH CAPABILITY, OF COURSE, BUT MOSTLY WITH YOUR WILLINGNESS TO TRANSCEND DOING WHAT YOU REALLY LOVE.”

I think the most notable example of our adaption capacity and outstanding execution is the health crisis and economic shocks caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. We proved to be resilient, emerging as the leading airline in terms of market recovery in Mexico and the Americas. This was possible due to several factors implemented around our business model, including financial discipline, resilience and adaptation to the new normal, understanding the needs of our stakeholders, a corporate sustainability strategy and, of course, the extraordinary work of the Volaris Family.  Over the last two years, we saw rapid market changes resulting from the surges of Covid-19 variants. Our seasoned executive team has been through many demand fluctuations and has been able to quickly recognize these fluctuations and pivot when needed, resulting in our ability to report strong TRASM and CASM exfuel that have delivered EBITDAR levels well above our domestic and international peers.

As for the international market, we have focused on Central and South America. We have also focused on growing our ties to the United States since the FAA downgraded Mexico's air security to Category 2. Although we are closely working with Mexican authorities and regulators to regain Category 1, Volaris has been executing a comprehensive Central and South America expansion plan.

What leadership skills and values differentiate you from the rest of the executives? EB:  This is a very interesting question. I strongly believe that true passion translates into effective leadership. Since Volaris took off back in 2006 I have been involved in all the airline’s areas, from operations to human resources. I remember spending weekends at the airport’s counters helping our clients with their reservations, checking-in luggage... talking with our mechanics and engineers. I believe this is the major difference. It has a lot to do with capability, of course, but mostly with your willingness to transcend doing what you really love.

CIGARDEN CLUB BY FRANCISCO ARIAS

Well, imagine your favorite toast bread with a spread of almond bu er and honey, and a few slices of peaches and apples on top!

Overall, perfect burning from start to nish. My go to cu er was a V-cut, which provided the perfect amount of smoke considering that this is a box press cigar with a 50-ring gauge. The smoking experience lasted for 60 minutes, which is a very good combustion rate for a 5.0” inch long cigar. Its pro le could be positioned in the mild to full strength, qualifying as a 7.5 in a 1 to 10 scale. The drink of choice for this tasting was black

Second Third: Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is well known for his amazing cra smanship and the time that he invests while creating these magni cent blends, with so much a ention to details like moving certain llers back and forth to ne tune the smoking experience. That said, the transition to the second third is remarkable and teases the palate in a steady progression of strength with aro- mas of nu y, roast, peanuts, almonds and toast as well as woody and tasty bread avors. The retro hale continues to be an extremely pleasant experience.

It’s worth noting that this is a cigar, not a puro. A cigar is made with tobaccos from di erent countries, the puro only has tobaccos from one country. A puro is not be er or worse than a cigar, it’s just for mere classi cation purposes. This is a beautiful box pressed cigar, and if you read my last column, you will notice that the cigar of the year 2021 was also a box pressed. Is there a tendency here? Maybe, only time will tell. A common factor in box pressed cigars or puros is an almost perfect draw due to the way it’s rolled and then pressed in a squared box, allowing for a great air ow. Pre light cold draw: the avors and aromas that we perceived right out of the box were fruity, prune, and apple.

Flavors in the realm of cedar wood, leather, charred wood, co ee beans with a great retro hale right from the start. As a box pressed cigar, the draw its normally great and, this cigar was no exception.

THIS MASTERPIECE is wrapped in an Habano Connecticut leaf, which means a Cuban seed planted and har- vested in Connecticut, accompanied by a majestic Ecuadorian binder, and robust Nicaraguan llers. It is the latest creation from the Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and family. Don Ernesto is a family man in every way, his family is his inspiration, and we can see the pictures of his mother and daughter in at least 3 of his latest creations. Last Sunday I had the opportunity to interview his daugh- ter Lisse e Perez-Carrillo right a er she landed in Dominican Republic to visit their factory. She was kind enough to share the story behind this family legacy.*

Final Third: This is where everything comes together! Remember the fruity avors from the cold draw? Well, imagine your favorite toast bread with a spread of almond bu er and honey, and a few slices of peaches and apples on top! As most cigars of the year, they have certain things in common, like a perfect draw with no e ort and rm ash. In this case, it comes in a light grey color. Overall, perfect burning from start to nish. My go to cu er was a V-cut, which provided the perfect amount of smoke considering that this is a box press cigar with a 50-ring gauge. The smoking experience lasted for 60 minutes, which is a very good combustion rate for a 5.0” inch long cigar. Its pro le could be positioned in the mild to full strength, qualifying as a 7.5 in a 1 to 10 scale. The drink of choice for this tasting was black

El Pino Club “Funky Jory” 2018 Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley OR. Sunday treat! I like the sophisticated and more compacted fruit from the Oregon Pinot Noirs. This one is elegant, graceful, and balanced, like an American Burgundy, not too oaky, well crafted, fruit expressive with plums and cherry, rose petals and spice. It gets sophisticated and complex as you drink it. It evolves from the first pour. Really nice! I always like my Pinot Noir with Chinese or Roast ed birds, but this one I had it with a cedar plank roasted salmon and it was amazing. Christophe Patrice Chablis 1er Cru BEAUROY 2019. Pale yellow and discreet in aromas it opens slowly and at its own pace, like most of the Burgun dies. There are mellow notes of melon, butter, pineapple, and green apple. Acid, yeasty and dry. It’s elegant and reserved, but quality is presented in a more austere way than usual on a Chablis 1er Cru. Mixed feelings here, I expected more expression and character. This one must be drunk with not much analysis; it is just very pleasant as you drink it. I would put some sushi or shrimp on to enjoy it better. Flight Knoll “Noble Right“ Proprietary Red 2019. So, one of my best friends goes to Napa and does a wine tasting in this-never-heard of-winery. Next thing, we get together and gives me this bottle he brought by the six pack: nice well-crafted wine with loads of ripe red fruit, mature notes of cherry, plum and roasted herbs. Vanilla and minty hints. Beautiful wine, velvety tannins and full bodied. To be honest this is a delicious wine. One of those well-crafted Cabs from Napa that will impress you, with boldness and big personality. Quinta do Noval Touriga Nacional 2017, Douro. After a whiff of oak aromas, it develops bright fruity notes, blueberry, plum and strawberry. Medium bodied with ample ripe fruit and berries. Short. Not much to savor after you swallow. However, it has a very welcoming approach with spiced notes. It drinks very nice with short ribs, barbecue or grilled sausages. I need to confess that I’m ready to explore more wines from Portugal, I know they made some amazing stuff, not very easy to find. Touriga is a indigenous grape varietal from the north of Portugal, with a very distinct personality, usually displaying a lot of blue and red berries.

Henri Prudhon Saint-Aubin 1er Cru “Le Castets” 2018. I always love these white Burgundies, with fresh lime and flowery accents. Dry, acidic, and bright. Medium bodied with more notes of green melon, apple and white pepper. A little dissatisfied with the lack of expression, both in aromas and flavors. However, it is a very fine and elegant white wine. Silky and luscious. This is a good wine to drink with cheeses; Camembert, Brie, Re blochon, Pont L’eveque, and other creamy ones. This one doesn’t have a very long finish, but it displays very nice tropical fruit, enough to make you enjoy it very much.

SUMMER WINES: ENJOYING THE SUN WITH A GOOD PAIRING

Jorge Ferráez @ JFerraez_Latino @ferraez.wine Luis E. González L a Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 cosecha 2005. What a different wine, with a superb array of nutty and ripe fruit flavors. This one is one of my favorite representatives of the old classic style Riojas. Few wines age so graceful as these ones. Lactic tones bring you to acidic hints of licorice, pomegranate, plum, orange peel and spice. Medium bodied and very ample in aromas and flavors with some meaty and bloody character. A refined and sophisticated wine. Always a pleasure to sip with anything, especially if it is with some serrano ham, manchego cheese and other tapas!
