Innovative thinking combined with a knack for bringing people together were the cornerstone for Alfonso Barrera to build his company, Hispanic Pro. The building blocks for the organization which now has major sponsors such as Telemundo, Kellogg’s, Verizon, CBS TV, Nielsen and Hoy Newspaper were conceived in Barrera’s mind when he was still an undergraduate student at DePaul University in Chicago.
Barrera, who grew up in Waukegan, just north of Chicago, studied marketing at DePaul. His curiosity and ability to network as a student soon allowed him to act as a liaison between student clubs and major corporations. HispanicPro (www.hispanicpro.com) acts as a clearing house for Hispanic professional talent and major corporations.
He has built a network of over 56,000 professionals and sends out a weekly informative newsletter with content that offers a wide variety of career tips and advice for recent graduates as well as seasoned professionals. READ MORE
