In this episode…

Diversity is an important component of building a strong company, community, and world as a whole. With companies in particular, the emphasis is often on hiring people from all backgrounds within a single culture. However, there’s a deeper level of diversity that comes from people of different cultures. Whether it’s a fresh drive to succeed or new perspectives brought to the table, this approach goes one step further and creates unique opportunities.

Few people have seen this as clearly as Ana Álvarez. As the Founder and CEO of Migrapreneur, much of her career has been spent helping migrant entrepreneurs find their stride. She has experienced the struggle firsthand and now helps others bridge the same gap in new countries. Along the way, she’s developed her own principles that she’s keen to share.

They go through the challenges migrants face and the success stories of those who’ve been given the opportunity. They also touch on Ana’s own journey, the work that Migrapreneur does, and what the future holds for the company. All of this and more on this episode of Next Wave Leadership.
