Amanda (Jane) Rodriguez

Amanda championed DEI by raising awareness about ‘National Arab American Heritage Month’ in 2021 with Benefit Cosmetics/LVMH to promote a more inclusive and diverse company culture. This positively impacted LVMH senior executives as she was given the opportunity to present on the positive influences of Middle Eastern culture and her personal testimony as an Arab-American. She joined and collaborated with the EllesVMH Resource Group to bring awareness to NAAHM and was featured in EllesVMH Newsletter and LinkedIn to encourage female empowerment and D&I. Amanda also joined the ‘LVMH New Moon APAHM Closing Celebration’ as a panelist to commemorate Asian Pacific American traditions and shed light on how allies can help support underrepresented cultures and communities. Additionally, Amanda participated in EllesVMH AllyLunch! a pilot program that provides LVMH employees with community and mentorship opportunities; her feedback and suggestions to the creators helped expand the program and drive mentorship for future executives.
