Ruiz started the conversation pointing out that it is an interesting moment in the U.S., “although there are troubled waters, what do you think brands can do to navigate them?.”Hernández-Romine explained they continue to make their multicultural efforts. “We have brought to the organization the celebration of culture, of our roots, and we will not drift away from this focus, despite the political crossroads. We are building the credibility of each brand and seeing which relate to multicultural group. My goal is that we don’t have to do this anymore. I have been through this for 20 years, I don’t want to ever hear again that this is Hispanics’ year. It must be part of the marketing DNA. Diversity must be something systemic for brands.”“In the aim to empower people, we work near them to ensure that multicultural is key in everything we do” explained Peña.Guerin spoke about the new type of leadership in United Airlines, that unites its workforce even more.
