Our Team
Our dedicated team of volunteers provide events
and programming designed to break barriers, showcase success stories, and create inclusive pathways for sports professionals, allies, and the greater Latinx community across the US.
Meet the Founder
When I launched Latinx in Sports in 2020, it
started with a simple observation during Hispanic Heritage Month: while our culture was being celebrated on the field, the professionals in the front office did not feel represented.
I realized that we didn’t just need a month of celebration; we needed a permanent space for connection. What began as a digital campaign to highlight our stories has exploded into a thriving ecosystem to build, empower, and connect Latinx members and allies into the sports industry.
Today, Latinx in Sports is a bridge connecting the next generation of talent with professional development, access to seasoned executives, and more resources. As we look toward the future of the sports industry, the Latinx demographic is not just a participant—it is the engine of growth.
From the rising purchasing power of Latinx fans to the untapped potential of diverse talent, our community is shaping the global sports landscape. We invite you to join us in that future and partner with us.
