Ines Montes – Stewart, Former Head of CLG Diversity & Inclusion, Wells Fargo Bank
“You did a top-notch professional presentation today. Animated and engaging, stories to make concepts come alive, personable, articulate. It made me realize that a tough subject like diversity causes people to tiptoe around it, and you hit all the targets head on, matter of fact. No wonder you got recognized for this subject because you could bring insight. Congratulations, Lisa, a job well done, hats off to you!”
Cecile Miranda - Internet Marketing Specialist
