About Evolve to a Butterfly
Our CEO & Founder Bio: Brigette Guerra, PHR
With over two decades of experience in Human Resources at Fortune 500 companies, our CEO and Founder, Brigette Guerra, brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and passion in leadership, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I), and wellness. A successful leader in the corporate environment, she managed to learn to balance work and personal growth through a holistic approach. Her strengths in balancing life, perseverance, making bold decisions and following her intuition by practicing mindfulness has made her successful in her career. Her story begins with her parents, who both migrated to this country in search of better opportunities from Ecuador, a South American country. Coming from low-resource environments, lacking the mastery of the English language and even a high school education, they faced significant challenges. Growing up, she moved frequently, each move representing a pursuit of a better life but also facing hardships of new schools, new friends, and financial struggles of her family. Despite these hardships, she learned valuable lessons from her parents that shaped who she is. She learned to be flexible in a world of constant change and incorporated these skills in her professional career. She became the first in her family to graduate with a college degree, a Bachelor in International Business. She later earned a Master’s degree in Human Resources Management in a journey fueled by determination to break down barriers and create opportunities that her parents did not have. She later obtained her certification of Professional in Human Resources (PHR) with HRCI. Her experience working in large, global and often complex companies, allowed her to gain a deep understanding of organizational dynamics and the importance of effective communication across all levels of an organization. As a minority woman she gained the respect of her peers and teams, making lasting impact with developing leaders at all levels. Her strengths are building strong relationships and fostering inclusive environments where everyone feels valued. She has dedicated her career to uplifting her community at work and personally, often being on boards after hours, launching Business Resource Groups, and serving her local community.
In her personal life, as a single mother, she had to master balance. In addition, she went through a healthy body transformation and has been able to sustain her weight loss for over a decade by incorporating holistic approaches for her mind, body, and soul. In her search for her purpose, she determined that her journey has led her to want to inspire others by demonstrating that it is possible to come from humble beginnings and achieve great things.
