Meet Luisa Guaracao, our newest team member!
We’re so excited to welcome Luisa to the squad! Luisa was formerly a founding member of Instacart’s social impact team and has deep experience working with nonprofits and foundations in the public health space.
What’s a career highlight you’re really proud of?
At Instacart I helped launched Community Carts, a product that brought food drives online and has raised thousands of most needed-items for food banks across the country. It’s been incredible to see what started as a hackathon project become a critical part of the company’s disaster relief efforts. During the LA wildfires, Instacart used Community Carts to send supplies to schools and community centers that were impacted.
What’s an issue are that you’re really passionate about?
The future of DEI has been top-of-mind for months. As someone who could stereotypically be considered a “DEI hire” I’ve seen the good and bad. Read my personal take on what I think comes next.
