Executive Director (Volunteer-based)

Who we are:

The Latinx MBA Association is a 501c3 non-profit with over 2,000 members across 150 MBA programs. Our vision is to develop, empower, & advance Latinx business leaders in order to create positive economic change for the United States.

Founded in April 2020, the Latinx MBA Association was created from a demand to connect Latinx MBAs from various MBA programs as the world was in lock down due to COVID-19. Across top 25 MBA programs, there are 300 domestic Latinx MBAs who graduate annually but don’t connect - an unmet opportunity. By the end of 2020, the Latinx MBA Association was officially incorporated and registered as a non-profit. In Feb 2021, the organization officially launched to the public, becoming one of the largest networks of Latinx MBAs to date.
