About the Author
Blanca De La Rosa was born in the Dominican Republic. She grew up in the
Projects of the upper west side of Manhattan in New York, during the time
before the Hispanic population developed the supportive Latino community
which exists today. Although she struggled without support in her cultural
and linguistic transition, De La Rosa was able to graduate from Pace
University with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business
Management and to establish a successful 34-year career rising through the
ranks of Mobil/ExxonMobil Oil Corporation.
During her career, she held numerous positions both domestic and
international in nature with increasing responsibility. These assignments
took her around the United States, Europe, Central / South America, and
Nigeria.
De La Rosa retired from ExxonMobil after 34 years of service. As a Business
Development Manager and President of the company’s Employee Resource
Group she often represented her company as lead presenter at the Regional
and National Scholarship Awards hosted by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation.
In addition, she represented her company as host, keynote speaker, and
panelist of various events with organizations supported by the company's
charity foundation. After all her time in the industry, she says her most
rewarding role was serving as mentor to the young employees in her company
– guiding them through the corporate maze.
