A Conversation With the Global Head of Advancing Hispanics & Latinos at JPMorgan Chase.
PowerToFly is honored to sit down with Silvana Montenegro, an HR professional with more than two decades of experience that is leading the transformation of financial wellness for Hispanics and Latinos.
DEI leader and advocate Silvana will dive deeper into what this transformation process looks like. She strongly believes it’s time to view our differences as differentiations and not obstacles, to embrace what every underrepresented group can bring to the table.
During this chat, we’ll talk about:
- Next steps to bridge the racial wealth gap
- The importance of building a culture of inclusion
- The role communities play in this transformation process
