MIAMI, July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Carolyn
Aronson, CEO and Founder of It's a 10® Haircare,
has been announced as a Council Member of the National Advisory
Council for the Latinas in Leadership Institute (LiLi), a program
of Latinas & Power Corp. This initiative, launched by actress
and activist Rita Moreno, aims to
address the significant Latina leadership gap in the United States.
The mission of the Latina Leadership Institute (LiLi) is to
cultivate a robust pipeline of talented Latina leaders prepared to
take on significant roles in business and the community. This
initiative is a direct response to the recent Lean In report titled
"The State of Latinas in Corporate America," which highlights the
alarming drop in Latina representation from entry-level positions
to the C-suite.
As a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and CEO of one of
the only Latina-owned professional haircare brands in the world,
Carolyn's journey is a testament to the power of resilience,
vision, and hard work. She started It's a 10® Haircare
with almost zero in funding and has grown it into a fully
international company distributed in 107 countries and counting.
Her tenacious spirit and belief in her brand are what made it the
#1 brand in Ulta Beauty and Sally Beauty's haircare categories and
gained the brand a passionate hairstylist, consumer and celebrity
following.
Carolyn's story exemplifies the possibilities for Latina women
in leadership. Her success serves as an inspiration and a tangible
example of breaking barriers. By joining the Latinas in Leadership
Institute, Carolyn brings her vast experience, entrepreneurial
spirit, and commitment to excellence to help guide and inspire the
next generation of Latina leaders.
"We need more Latina CEOs of companies, and I am here today to
inspire other women and help them understand that they too can be
CEOs and can own worldwide brands. By finding their passion and
tapping into accessible resources, they can build what we know we
are capable of," said Carolyn
Aronson.
The newly established Advisory Board for LiLi includes
influential leaders from various sectors such as business,
government, and the arts, who will provide guidance to effectively
address the Latina leadership gap. Notable members include real
estate developer Sandy Cloud,
Karen Clarkson, VP of Go-to-Market
Strategy at Ricoh Corporation, Tricia
Montalvo-Timm, venture investor and board director,
Yvette Melendez, President &
Founder of YMR Consulting, actress and author Andrea Navedo, Yvette
Pena, VP of Latino Audience Strategy at AARP, Deb Rosado Shaw, Fortune 50 Senior Executive and
Advisor, Dr. Charles Ventor
Santiago, Associate Professor at the University of Connecticut, and Dr. Tina Loarte-Rodriguez, Executive Director of the
Connecticut Center for Nursing Workforce.
