WALMART LEADERSHIP INTERVIEW SERIES

Over the next year, HACR will highlight leaders who are advocating for Hispanic inclusion. The Leadership Interviews will be featured in HACR’s publications and on social media platforms. Twenty-five interviews will be published between November 2013 and November 2014. The interviews will highlight Hispanic leaders who are making a difference within their companies and communities, including representatives from Walmart. During the interviews, topics will revolve around the lack of Hispanic inclusion in Corporate America, best practices to improve representation within companies, personal insights to help increase the representation in Corporate America, and advice on how they’ve been successful in their careers.
