Mariana is not only a Peabody award-winning news personality and author, but also the co-founder of GoLike, a successful multimedia production company. However, above all else, she serves as a shining example of what can be achieved when one discovers their own voice and purpose.
Originally from Venezuela, Mariana came to the United States after losing hope of pursuing a career in journalism in her home country. As an immigrant and a newcomer to the television industry, she faced a crucial decision: conform to others' expectations or redefine herself beyond societal labels.
Her unwavering determination to push boundaries has allowed her to excel as a news anchor and national correspondent on both English and Spanish television for over a decade. Moreover, her impactful Tedx Talk, titled "What Makes You Special?", has garnered nearly 14 million views and has been translated into 13 languages. A gifted communicator and natural connector, Mariana is equally renowned for her work as a keynote speaker, interviewer, and host. She regularly moderates discussions for global gatherings of senior leaders, innovators, and policymakers, and brings warmth, intelligence, and journalistic rigour to every conversation.
As a prominent Latino figure shaping the future of America, Mariana has delivered keynote speeches at the United Nations Girl Up Summit and collaborated with renowned companies such as Airbnb, UBS, and Microsoft. Additionally, her debut book, Perfectly You: Embracing the Power of Being Real, achieved best-seller status on Amazon and was featured on Apple as a "Must Listen."
If you want to inspire your team to overcome barriers to success and discover their own voices, Mariana's wealth of experience makes her an invaluable mentor.
