Monica Lozano

Monica C. Lozano is a powerhouse – before serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of College Futures Foundation, she had a highly successful career in media. She was editor and publisher of La Opinión, the country’s leading Spanish language daily newspaper, and then went on to become CEO of the parent company, ImpreMedia. Under her leadership, the company evolved into a multi-media content company while staying true to its mission of informing, educating, and empowering the Latino community.

After leaving ImpreMedia in 2016, Lozano co-founded and chaired the Latinos and Society Program at the Aspen Institute. She’s a member of the Board of Directors of Apple, Bank of America, and the Weingart Foundation, and serves as Lead Independent Director for Target Corporation. She’s also an active member of the Aspen Institute Latinos and Society Advisory Board, and served on Governor Gavin Newsom’s California Higher Education Recovery with Equity Taskforce.

She continues to make a positive impact at her current role. The Foundation partners with organizations and leaders across the state of California to increase college degree completion and close equity gaps, so that every student has a chance to succeed – regardless of their background.

Lozano’s many awards and distinctions are a testament to her incredible achievements. She was named one of Fortune Magazine’s 50 Most Influential Latinas and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2016. It’s clear that Lozano is a true leader, with a passion for making a difference in the world. #WomensHistoryMonth #Latinas #Trailblazer
