Alma Guajardo-Crossley’s Rise To The Top At GM Through Education

I had the pleasure of interviewing Alma Guajardo-Crossley about her humble beginnings, rise to the top at GM, her family roots and values instilled by her father for education.  I met her last month when I attended NAHJ (National Association of Hispanic Journalists) conference and currently holds the position as  Diversity Director for General Motors.

We met for breakfast with the communications team for GM, Maria de Los Angeles, blogger/social media consultant, and Maria D’Adamo, Editor for Eco Latino. We were honored to be guests of  General Motors at NAHJ. You can see my recap of the conference and Maria and I’s video convoy to Orlando here.
