Update: 2025-07-23
Description
NEW EPISODE: Maria Lensing – The Power of Being Seen
Global Chief Information and Technology Officer at Sorenson Communications
In this powerful episode of A LA LATINA, Claudia Romo Edelman and Cynthia Kleinbaum Milner sit down with Maria Lensing, one of the few Latinas to have reached the C-suite in Fortune 10 companies in the tech space.
From escaping Peru with her family to save her brother’s life, to becoming a transformational leader in corporate America, Maria opens up about her story of resilience, leadership, and identity.
3 Key Takeaways:
Agent vs. Hammer of Change: Maria warns Latinas about being used as drivers of uncomfortable change in organizations that aren’t ready for it — and the personal cost that can bring.
Your Network = Who Knows You for What: A redefinition of networking that prioritizes reputation over quantity.
The ‘Manual of Me’: Maria shares the literal document she gives her team when starting a new role — a guide to working effectively with her.
Plus: She talks about caregiving as a privilege, navigating corporate politics, motherhood, and how to dream bigger — even when you've already made it.
