Exciting announcement about our next chapter! 👇
✨ Sharing exciting *Pulso* news! ✨ Over the last ten days, the United States and Venezuela, the two countries I love most, have given us a lesson in leadership. About a long term mission over short term goals. About defending the truth at all costs. About when to transition the work to new leaders ready to take the baton. It's been hard to concentrate on anything else, really, but I didn't want the month to end without sharing that at Pulso, we’ve been going through a transition of our own. I’m ELATED to share that as of July 1st, 2024, Project Pulso, Inc (501c3) and Project Pulso, Action (501c4) are officially in business! To take us into this next chapter we have a remarkable team and, for the first time, a full leadership bench of BRILLIANT women leading the way! Allow me to introduce you to: Krysta Villeda, our Chief of Staff for the last three years who has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer. Krysta has been the force driving our culture and operations work and this transition to independence is possible because of her leadership. She’ll continue to oversee our operations, and now also oversee our Product and Growth teams led by Erica Rios who brings a background in tech and a wealth of product knowledge, and Sabrina Torres, who brings versatile marketing and digital know-how, to our work. Working closely with me and leading on the content front is Kat Lazo, who brings her sharp creative instincts, producing, and hosting chops to breathe new life into our history, pop culture and upcoming personal content centering Latinos’ experiences. As for me, I’ll be stepping out of the Executive Director role and stepping into scaling our reach and impact as CEO of Pulso. I can’t tell you all how excited THE ENTIRE Pulso team is about what we’re brewing for this next chapter! A few notes of gratitude before letting you all get back to your day: -To Accelerate Change Network for the vision that made Pulso possible and the mutual growth and support over the last six years. Exiting fiscal sponsorship doesn’t mean we’re going anywhere. We’ll still be collaborating with AC and the entire slate of media partners that form part of the NowMedia network. -To Open Society Foundations for their extremely generous recent contribution to Pulso, making them the FIRST funder to support us as an independent organization. Can't end this without a Call to Action, right?!
