Latinx MBA Association

Our Story

Founders: Nancy Torres, Jessica Leon, Tiq Chapa, Andrew Mairena, Ivan Aragon, Ashley Carrick, and Liscare Castro

Founded in April 2020, the organization was created from a demand to connect Latinx MBAs from various MBA programs as the world was in lock down due to COVID-19. Across top 25 MBA programs, there are 300 domestic Latinx MBAs who graduate annually but don’t connect - an unmet opportunity. By the end of 2020, the Latinx MBA Association was officially incorporated and registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit. In Feb 2021, the organization officially launched to the public, becoming one of the largest networks of Latinx MBAs to date.
