About Karina Gutierrez Perez
As a connector at heart, I thrive on bringing diverse communities together and aligning people with opportunities that reflect their passions and goals. I’m empathetic, curious, and community-driven, always seeking to understand how people think, learn, and find meaning. My expertise spans employee engagement, program management, internal communications, stakeholder engagement, event planning, marketing, reporting, and fundraising. I’m known for being resourceful, compassionate, and skilled at building authentic relationships. At LinkedIn, I lead initiatives that connect employees to causes they care about. I manage our global Social Impact Ambassador Program (70+ ambassadors across our main LinkedIn offices) and oversee the ERG Microgrants Program, empowering ERGs to fund volunteer projects that deepen community impact. I also lead global activations that inspire employees to engage in social impact year-round. As a proud first-gen professional and immigrant, I’m passionate about creating access and visibility for communities of color. If you’re a first-gen student or professional, or part of a historically excluded community, I’d love to connect. Due to the lack of diversity in the CSR and Social Impact space, I prioritize informational interviews with BIPOC professionals. Please include a note with your invite so I don’t miss it.
