Her power of imagination has been her guide since childhood, allowing her to see beyond the information available to make decisions with both her head and her heart. The Princeton alum built her brand and leadership expertise at General Mills for almost twenty-two years, brought her vision to Amazon\u2014and then became one of the first Afro-Latina CEOs of a US publicly traded company when she joined the Honest Company in 2023. She saw an opportunity to turnaround the personal care brand while transforming into the leader she was always meant to be. Vern\u00f3n has stepped into her own not only as an executive but also an Afro-Latina leader. She\u2019s unfolded her wings to fully be herself among her fellow Latinos, particularly on the board for the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of the American Latino. She imagines a museum that inspires us to move forward and welcomes the rich complexities of what it means to be Latino.
