Meet Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner, a Latina in the C-suite at the financial services company Money Lyon, who wants to help the next generation of Latinas get to the top in half the time.
Cynthia shares her story of growing up in Mexico City with a supportive father who taught her the value of hard work. She talks about her journey of immigration to the US to pursue an MBA with the goal of becoming a better marketer, and how that journey turned into a rollercoaster that made her take a step back in her career before catapulting her into executive roles in corporate America. Once there, Cynthia met other Latinas hungry to learn how to craft their own career paths, which led her to co-create “A la Latina”, a podcast that equips the next generation of professional Latinas with the playbook to success being their authentic selves.
