Pretty Powerful Podcast Episode 3: Teresa Rivero

Angela Gennari speaks with Teresa Rivero about her life as a Cuban immigrant and her prestigious position with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation


Her grandfather was the last President-Elect of Cuba before Castro took over and her family was exiled and forced too start over in a foreign country, so Teresa Rivero truly understands the value of an opportunity. Overcoming a learning disability that wasn't diagnosed until she reached college, and the expectation that a Cuban daughter should not stray far from family, she fought hard to achieve her educational and career goals independently... and is now managing hundreds of millions of dollars for one of the largest foundations in the world. Join us as Angela Gennari talks with Teresa about her incredible and inspiring journey.
