Martha de la Torre

It's a privilege to lead a company that creates publications, digital media, and events cherished by our community, applauded by our customers, and crafted with pride by our employees. Each day, I am committed to personal growth, sharing knowledge, and setting an example in leadership. This dedication ensures that EC Hispanic Media thrives, achieving its mission of enhancing lives within the communities we serve.

As CEO of EC Hispanic Media, I've expanded our print and digital platforms to create a comprehensive marketplace, empowering the Hispanic community with valuable resources. My dedication to innovation has solidified El Clasificado's position as a trusted brand among Hispanics, earning recognition such as the SBA's Minority Small Business Champion of the Year.

My journey began at Loyola Marymount University, followed by a career as a CPA and audit manager at Ernst & Young, specializing in businesses targeting the U.S. Hispanic market. This background, coupled with my commitment to diversity, has shaped our thriving corporate culture.

I have made it a mission of mine to continue to make a positive impact in the Hispanic media industry, contributing to the growth and prosperity of the Latino community through our platforms.

When I arrived for my job interview I thought I was applying for Al Borde (one of our hip, alternative brands). As I walked in I thought to myself, “This isn’t Al Borde. What is this place?” It turned out to be the parent company, El Clasificado. Long story short, it was the best career move I ever made. This company nurtures talent. If you got it, then you are moving. No, not from your home, but UP!! The process hasn’t been easy, but the challenges, exciting!! Here you find yourself creating the logo of a brand, the promotional art, directing a photoshoot and booking a band to play at your event. Gotta Love It!!!

EC Hispanic Media hasn’t stopped growing since I started 6 years ago, which always means a new challenge for me, the possibility of writing and reporting about almost anything, and also the amplitude of channels to communicate with the reader. But above all, I love the people that make this place so special. I look forward to seeing them every day.

People at EC Hispanic Media are passionate about what they do. Everyone is so talented that it’s evident they are here because they truly enjoy what they do not because they lack options.
