Filipino Women Breaking Barriers: Maria Odiamar Racho, Cultivating “Intrapreneurs”
A trailblazer in corporate America, Maria Racho pioneered the intrapreneurs program at Allstate. The program helps to build an entrepreneurial spirit for corporate Intraprenuers and has now grown to over 650 members, a Shark Tank, and a hackathon where people take ideas from concept and to pitch to executives. We chose Maria as our guest, inspired not only by her achievements in the startup ecosystem as a Filipino American woman, but also by her ability to create connections, create community and inspire others.
