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.
