“Intelligence, professionalism and a positive can do outlook exist in one amazing professional, Maria Hernandez. Maria consistently shows exceptional leadership and creative skills as the New York Co-chair for SOMOS. SOMOS, the Hispanic/Latino Heritage Group, is one of five employee business resource groups at Interpublic (IPG). In her role as a New York Co-Chair, Maria oversees the creation and the execution of programs throughout the year. Maria has personally created and managed programs ranging from a panel discussion on Hispanic American consumer insights to forums where executives throughout IPG speak to our employees about their professional journey and the role that diversity and inclusion has played in their careers. SOMOS is flourishing due in great measure to Maria’s dedication and commitment. Every now and then you meet and get to work with someone like Maria, and for those who are so fortunate you know what a positive impact they can make toward team development and project execution. ”
