October 12, 2017 – Los Angeles– Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) is proud to announce that HSF Board Chair, Lisa Garcia Quiroz, who is Senior Vice President, and Chief Diversity Officer and President of the Time Warner Foundation, will be leaving her role at Time Warner at the end of this year, after a distinguished 27-year career with the company, to spend the spring academic semester at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government where she has been named a Hauser Leader-in-Residence at the Center for Public Leadership (CPL). When her term ends, she will take some much-needed time off to explore the next chapter of her life.

Lisa’s career has been marked by a series of firsts at the global media company. She started her career at Time Inc. after graduating from Harvard Business School and she went on to successfully launch two magazines, TIME for Kids, the classroom news publication, and People en Español, People’s Spanish-language spin-off for the US Latino market. A little over a decade ago, she joined corporate to lead the reimagination and relaunch of the Time Warner Foundation and was later named the company’s first Chief Diversity Officer.

Time Warner Chairman and CEO, Jeff Bewkes stated, “Her work at Time Warner has already made a positive impact for both our company and our industry. She has worked tirelessly to see to it that our workplace is an inclusive and equitable place for all, recognizing both the social and business importance of having an employee base that mirrors its consumers. Under Lisa the Time Warner Foundation helped ensure that our company has a pipeline of extraordinary new talent and built up its support of important partners such as the Sundance Institute and the Public Theater to do extraordinary work. Lisa has been a mentor to countless employees and executives across the company and has been a generous and compassionate friend to many here. I am not alone in saying that I will miss working with her and know that she will continue to make her mark in whatever she chooses to do next.”

HSF President and CEO, Fidel Vargas stated, “Lisa is a champion in our community and we’re proud of her leadership at HSF.”
