In 1993, Lois and Juan were paired to lead the HR and Administration functions of MTV Networks Latin America. Their strengths made them a dynamic work duo. Little did they know they would also become life-long friends.
Under the stewardship of a legendary leader, Lois and Juan designed and managed every aspect of the employee experience for the Latin American divisions of MTV and Nickelodeon. In these formative professional years supporting these iconic brands, they experienced firsthand the value of cultivating intentional culture to attract and engage great talent.
They learned that creating and fostering a safe and respectful work environment -- physical as well as emotional -- was indispensable to harness the immense creativity that is unleashed when people from different backgrounds and styles come together for a common purpose. They also learned that caring for people through the experiences they designed and the policies they implemented resulted in higher employee engagement.
After parting ways, Lois went on to build and lead all aspects of HR and talent management for various organizations in the profit and nonprofit sectors. Juan went on to build culture through employee development and engagement efforts with world-class brands, sometimes as an employee, and other times as a consultant.
In 2020, as the world went into lockdown, Lois and Juan decided to partner again to create Matter of Culture, a collective of facilitators, coaches, and consultants who design people-centric experiences. Their aim is to help every organization become an exceptional place to work.
