Conexión
About
Conexión is a national leadership development nonprofit based in Boston that works to advance diverse talent, with a focus on Hispanic and Latino professionals, and to close leadership gaps across sectors. It does this through mentoring, executive engagement, leadership programs and cross-sector convenings. Its programs pair emerging professionals with executive mentors who help with goal setting, career planning and building networks.
Now two decades old, the organization operates in 26 states and Puerto Rico and works with Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies as well as other leading institutions. Participants describe being matched with mentors who share their interests, joining cohorts of peers, and getting feedback that shapes major career decisions. Conexión also produces research and commentary, including a deep dive into 2024 demographic trends and voter participation, and points to data showing how few Fortune 500 executives are Latino.
