Recently we held our Q1 LAC Advisors Business Development Town Hall where we discussed the future of our business, how to maximize value for our clients and our commitment to ignite a culture that empowers growth and development for everyone as #OneTeam. As part of our session, we hosted a power-panel #LeadersUnplugged, focused on priceless career experiences from Ngozi Megwa Adam Granoff and Efren Perrone. Some key pearls from them to pass on: 1. Consider lateral moves – sometimes the unexpected path can lead to remarkable growth. 2. Embrace a strong work ethic – it is the foundation that sets you apart. 3. Cultivate your intellectual curiosity and strategic mindset – it is fundamental as you grow in your journey. 4. Build your network – trust based relationships with leaders you respect and connect with are priceless. Thank you to our speakers and everyone involved. ¡Vamos por más! #MastercardEmployee #OneTeam Eric Schneider Ana Paula Aceves Ignacio Quian Zavalia Alejandro Yañez Moreno Rodrigo Villela Carolina Fonnegra Gloria Crawley-Boevey Alejandro Galindo Pablo Corominas Lili Perez Mena Brenda Bodden Bonnet Marina Carsalade Nordstrom

When big players and small businesses come together, magic happens. I had the incredible opportunity to sit at a roundtable with leaders from both large organizations and small, minority-owned businesses. It was more than just a discussion— it was about creating real, actionable pathways for small businesses to step into spaces historically dominated by bigger players. As a consultant and representative of the public sector, I was there to figure out one thing: how can we make this collaboration happen? How can we ensure that small businesses and ethnic minority businesses aren’t just given a seat at the table, but a real shot at winning contracts and growing their influence? Seeing major organizations like Tishman Speyer push for supplier diversity reminded me why this work matters. It’s about creating opportunities for everyone, fostering growth, and building a future that reflects the diversity in our communities. This roundtable was just the start. We have the responsibility to keep pushing— —To make sure small businesses aren’t just part of the conversation, but leading it. LET THAT MARINATE PS: It was a wonderful experience interacting with all the participants there.
