Monica Diaz — Product Manager
As a Program Lead for Early Careers at Best Buy, I support the development and execution of college internship programs that attract and hire top emerging talent. With over 8 years of experience in the talent acquisition space, I have a passion for building relationships with candidates, hiring managers, HR business partners, and community organizations. In my current role, I recruit for various teams across Best Buy, including Merchandising, Supply Chain, Finance, I&B, and Marketing. I was also recently the chair of the Unidos Employee Resource Group, where I modeled and promoted inclusive leadership behavior, coached and mentored pillar leads, and partnered with other ERGs to build community and allyship. I am fluent in Spanish and English, and I leverage my language and cultural skills to foster a positive and diverse work environment.
