September 15-October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S.! To recognize the month, we spoke to the Co-Chairs of HOLA, our Employee Resource Group for Hispanic and Latinx employees and allies, about their experience at Newell Brands. Andrew Hutchinson, Vice President, LATAM (Andean, Southern Cone & CAC Cluster), manages several countries in the Latin America region. He shared, “In recent years, we have been evolving our go-to-market strategy across Latin America, combining the strength of our powerful brand portfolio to further solidify our customer partnerships and forge closer ties with our consumers. Being part of this organizational transformation has been energizing and exciting!” Andrew was inspired to get involved with HOLA because, even though he has British parents, he spent most of his childhood living in Latin America. Today, he lives in Miami, FL, a city heavily influenced by its diverse Latin population. “Although I have a long history working in Latin America, over 30 years, I still have much to learn about the region. Becoming a part of HOLA has allowed me to interact with co-workers who are proud of their Hispanic heritage and help HOLA allies learn about Latin culture and its people,” he said. Juan Mena, HOLA’s second Co-Chair and Sr. Manager, Demand Planning for our Home & Commercial Segment, takes pride in leading a cross-functional team and helping grow our brands’ market share in Latin America. When asked what Hispanic Heritage Month means, he said, “This month is an opportunity to reach our base, both Hispanic and Amigos, share our culture, and give back to the organization. We can share how our community can contribute to strategic goal achievement, both as employees and as an important segment of consumers.” Juan hopes that HOLA can contribute to the company’s high-performance culture by giving members the tools they need to be a part of Newell’s success story. He shared that the ERG focuses on our value of Passion for Winning, “leveraging Hispanic passion to attain exceptional performance by learning and focusing on our consumers.” Stay tuned as we speak to more HOLA leaders throughout the month!
