Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month 2024 at New Relic

Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated in the U.S. from September 15 to October 15, was marked by New Relic's Employee Resource Group for people of color and allies, Relics of Color, with the theme "Pioneers of Change - Shaping the Future Together." The month featured engaging internal programs, starting with a trivia game highlighting Hispanic trailblazers and concluding with a financial literacy session focused on generational wealth. For Arnie Lopez, New Relic's Chief Customer Officer, the month was a personal reflection on the influence of his mother, who instilled values of hard work and resilience, shaping his life and career. Lopez, who has over 30 years in the tech industry, sees himself as a pioneer for the next generation of Latino-American children, drawing parallels between his journey and his mother's legacy. The blog post underscores the importance of small actions leading to significant achievements and the responsibility of guiding future generations.
