Following a tragedy in the family, I left Aflac in 2018 and founded Cruz Benefits Consultants with my mom Annie Cruz.

Vice President, Community Engagement & External Relations, GTA
Like many careers, mine didn’t follow a straight path. I found my way into telecom, stayed curious, and nearly 20 years later, I’m still here—learning, adapting, and driving results.
I’ve had great mentors who showed me the power of experience and perspective. Mentor programs like this don’t just happen—GWCC is doing the work to build something meaningful, and I’m glad to be part of it.
Nobody has it all figured out. The key is to keep learning, keep improving, and help others do the same.
