CEO
Eastern Funding
Nancy Robles, CEO of Eastern Funding, has built a culture where inclusion drives growth and success. The company is intentional in hiring and development, ensuring equitable opportunities and representation. Today, Eastern Funding’s workforce has more than 50% minority representation, with mid-level management also reflecting strong minority representation and women in leadership. Leadership supports this commitment through training and involvement with the ELFA People Power Committee and BEFN, while executives also speak on panels at HBCUs. These efforts advance inclusivity within the company and across the industry.
For Robles, inclusivity is inseparable from organizational success. “In my opinion, real inclusion in the workplace looks like a safe space that not only welcomes but encourages diverse contributions, perspectives and points of view with the understanding that our unique human journey is exactly what gives us value.”
