Corporate Pero Latinos (“CPL”) started as an online community that our founder and CEO, Sophia Zarate, created in 2021 after recognizing the lack of Latinx representation in corporate America. She leveraged her social media platforms to share humorous and engaging content that resonated with a growing audience and began hosting in-person events in NYC. What started as a small group of friends became a community through which members have found friendship, as well as professional opportunities.

In late 2022, CPL became a registered non-profit and currently operates as a 501(c)3 charitable organization. We believe there is great value in community-building and consistently focus on creating opportunities in which our members can create an organic and genuine network. Our philanthropic initiatives are very special to our team because we focus on giving back to individuals whom we have identified as underserved and underrepresented members of our community.
