My last name is pronounced YO-pēs. :) I've proudly designed a full-scale curriculum that teaches leaders, managers and individual contributors HOW to reinvent themselves and their organizations in the face of resistance. With this in mind, I welcome you to get to know me a little bit better below. I'm a Cuban American executive, entrepreneur, senior advisor, and speaker to Fortune 500 companies and organizations in retail, consumer packaged goods, healthcare, and beyond. Proud to be a bestselling author of the books Earning Serendipity, The Innovation Mentality, Leadership in the Age of Personalization, and Unleashing Individuality. In November 2024, I will launch my forthcoming book titled, Make Reinvention Your Superpower. I've been a leadership strategy contributor to Forbes for 15 years, and also contribute to the Harvard Business Review and Entrepreneur magazine. I was recognized as a top 100 leadership speaker and business thinker by Inc. magazine. I'm a faculty member at the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE).After a successful career as a corporate executive with notable entrepreneurial ventures, I launched GLLG in 2007 to develop high performance leaders, teams, and cultures focused on inclusion and the power of individuality. I founded the Leadership in the Age of Personalization (LAOP) movement, which has inspired a grassroots effort among cross-industry executives focused on shredding the limitations of standardization to thrive in our age of personalization.Since 2019, GLLG has produced, hosted and designed the content strategy for seven LAOP thought leadership summits and for more than 100 episodes of the Personalization Outbreak podcast, all featuring executives from corporate, healthcare and higher education. I've prepared more than 450 speakers, moderated over 100 panel discussions, interviewed more than 100 guests for the podcast, and led an executive consortium of 112 people to deeply examine the strategic insights and trends related to personalization in the workplace and in the marketplace. I've been gifted with the unique and dynamic ability to facilitate and mediate roundtables and conduct executive coaching to propel next-level thinking for senior executives, leaders, and managers globally.My mission is to help create future legacies. My family is my number 1 priority.
