She’s daring, audacious, and kind—a force to be reckoned with—driven by corazón and resilience. She’s a badass jefa. And on Wednesday, October 9, during Advertising Week New York, She Runs It and TelevisaUnivision will feature and celebrate the Best of the Badass Bosses: Las Jefas Edition. This special event comes just as Hispanic Heritage Month is in full swing, celebrating the Latin powerhouses in our industry whose achievements and cultural roots continue to inspire and lead the way for other badass jefas.

Join us for an extraordinary panel where these trailblazing Latin leaders will share their innovative strategies, reveal their personal soft spots, and teach the skills that have defined their success. Discover how their rich cultural heritage—rooted in values like family solidarity, community spirit, and relentless pursuit of excellence—has shaped their journey and empowered them to become the leaders they are today.

Following the discussion, engage in a meaningful lunch with executive mentors, delving deeper into the unique factors that drive these leaders. We’ll conclude with a share-and-compare session from each table.
