Bio:

The platform connects Latinx to each other and to companies and recruiters looking for top flight talent. Andres is also a consultant Office of Diversity, Equity & Community Engagement (ODECE), University of Colorado Boulder
Disruption:
Guendelman is passionate about transforming diversity recruiting into a substantive endeavor rather than the corporate marketing and window dressing it too often is. She promotes genuine inclusiveness as the key to successful businesses and economies while expanding the career pipeline for individuals and communities. Guendelman is modeling and sharing a new narrative to promote career ambition among Latinas and encouraging them to embrace and celebrate risk taking.
Mentorship:
Helping others, especially Latina women, creatively envision their possibilities and access opportunities and resources and develop connections to help them advance toward their goals.
What’s Next:
Andrea is busy building BeVisible. She hopes that after BeVisible grows and is profitable, she can start investing in other Latinx startups.
Diversity and inclusiveness are key to the success of businesses and to our economy. Expanding the career pipeline can also transform individuals and communities.
