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
