Chris Cabrera and Rich Bailey are heads of our LGBTQ+ Task Force and Bacardí Portfolio Ambassadors. Throughout their careers, they have fought to carve a place for themselves in the industry and now they’re paving the way for others to shine within it. As active leaders in their communities and TEAM, they continue to set the tone for everyone to be true to their identity as they help us become part of the change and move the conversation forward.

Corporate experiences are evolving from check-the-box meetings to immersive, purpose-driven moments that engage and inspire modern employees. TEAM is helping companies reimagine what connection looks like—transforming summits, launches, and internal events into experiences that truly resonate.

In the age of influencers, a new kind of connector is redefining brand relevance — the host. From run club leaders to community curators, they’re not chasing followers, they’re building belonging. TEAM explores how trust, not reach, is becoming the real currency of brand love — and why brands that listen get invited in.

Shairy Gonzalez, TEAM’s Director of Content & Community, shares how people-first, multicultural storytelling drives authentic brand connections.
