With National Hispanic Heritage Month kicking off today, we couldn’t think of a better time to chat with Nina Vaca, Founder & CEO of Pinnacle Group, to learn more about how she transformed the company into the largest Latina-owned and led global workforce solutions provider.
As our inaugural guest on DEI Live™, we deeply enjoyed discovering how her personal journey created lasting ties to Pinnacle’s corporate identity and learning more about the role she sees diversity, equity, and inclusion playing across the entire workforce, including the contingent workforce. Join us as we dive into Nina’s 25+ year journey leading Pinnacle, the ways she’s watched DEI unfold in the corporate world, and the various ways Pinnacle has been able to support other companies in realizing their own DEI goals.
