Director of Operations & Engagements, The Latino Collective
Maria D'Ambrosio is Director of The Latino Collective at The National Hispanic Corporate Council (NHCC).
I am so proud of the 21 years I spent as a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion practitioner in both corporate and non-profit organizations. My passion and expertise lies in workforce diversity and workplace inclusion practices. I have a wealth of experience working with employee resource groups (ERG), including developing structures and frameworks and everyday operations. Working with those who drive DE&I through the organization with such dedication was a great learning for me and I have made so many friends along the way. A variety of other areas within DE&I has fueled my experience and passions, including inclusive leadership development and coaching. Again, learning so much and working with such wonderful colleagues and friends.
