Creating Corporate Image, Influencing Public Perception, & Positioning Organizations for Success View my Communications Portfolio here: https://claudiarestrepo201.wixsite.com/websiteHispanic Scholarship Fund Miami Advisory Council Member: https://ee.hsf.net/en/about-hsf/people/bios/claudia-restrepo/bio-set/I’ve had the opportunity to develop innovative marketing communications and media relations programs throughout my career that have shaped public perception, strengthened corporate reputation, and drive business results. As a college student, I won a scholarship that made it possible for me to pursue my studies and dreams; that gift opened my eyes and heart to the importance of giving back and helping others. For more than 25 years, I’ve been an active supporter and alumni of the Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, serving as a regional Advisory Board member and outreach focused on Hispanic education. That work includes helping students complete college applications, mentoring, and guiding students through undergraduate programs. Founded on a career working and traveling throughout Latin America, including one year when I lived in Brazil, it has helped me become culturally astute and has influenced how I see the world and approach work. It’s educated me in terms of diversity in culture and how business is conducted; what works in one market doesn’t necessarily work in another. That’s also true in markets within the U.S. I strive to lead by example and walk the talk, not asking others to do things I wouldn’t do myself. Although strategic in my thinking, I can also be very hands-on when I need to be. I believe in being transparent, direct, and simple in my communications and have found that approach to effectively get everyone moving in the same direction. It’s gratifying for me to provide guidance, coaching, and mentoring to others and see them succeed in their roles and careers.
Listed skills include Corporate Communications, Strategic Communications, Marketing Communications, Strategy, and 34 others.
