Washington, DC -- The Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility board of directors announced the appointment of Alfonso E. Martinez as president and CEO of the organization.
"We are delighted that Alfonso has joined us at this critical time when corporate America is increasing its engagement and outreach to the Hispanic community, and when both Democrats and Republicans are fiercly competing for the Hispanic vote during the upcoming election," said Antonio Flores, HACR chairman of the board. "Alfonso's vast experience with corporate America and its role and relationship with the Hispanic community brings an invaluable perspective to his work, the organization, and its coalition members."
Prior to joining the association, Mr. Martinez worked for Capital One Financial Services as executive director of Global Corporate Citizenship, Strategy and Policy. He oversaw Capital One's relationships with national advocacy groups, was a member of the government relation's team, managed corporate citizenship marketing, and provided leadership on a broad range of reputation management initiatives. Mr. Martinez also launched Capital One's diversity strategy and included minority recruitment, workforce diversity, and supplier diversity.
Bejore joining Capital One, Mr. Mar was vice president of Hispanic Markets for GMAC Residential, vice president of Diversity and Hispanic Business Development at Aetna Inc., and was vice president of Diversity for Marriott International. Mr. Martinez holds a BSBA from the University of Denver and a MS in Organizational Psychology from Johns Hopkins University.
