PROFILE

Criss Cuervo is the bridging differences program coordinator at the Greater Good Science Center.

Criss was born and raised in Venezuela; however, most of her adult years have been spent living and working between the United States, LatAm, and Spain. Criss spent over a decade in corporate America working in Hispanic television sales, production, and operations. In 2016, after much inner work and reflection, she fully transitioned into a career that allowed her to spread mindfulness and emotional Intelligence around the world—initially through her volunteer-led organization, and most recently as a consultant. With purpose and passion, she aims to create and sustain spaces where people make meaningful connections and feel like they belong.

Since departing corporate America, Criss has achieved notable milestones such as self-publishing a book, co-authoring a peer-reviewed article published in the Mindfulness journal, establishing partnerships, and offering consulting services for renowned companies, organizations, and academic institutions.
