Richard Ybarra
CEO
Chief Executive Officer at MNC, Richard Ybarra, brings more than just business acumen to the table, he brings a love of life and a diverse range of interests.

Music plays a big part in his life, with mariachi and soul music often providing the soundtrack to his days. Known for being a talented dancer, Richard can move to the rhythm with ease, no matter the occasion. Some of his favorite places to unwind include Cambria and Santa Barbara in California, Cape
Cod, and the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Still on his bucket list? Barcelona and Ireland are two destinations he is eager to explore.
Isabel St.Germain
Chief Innovation Officer
Isabel is a creative soul passionate about art, constantly exploring new media to express herself. She finds peace in nature, whether hiking or walking barefoot on the beach and loves the simple joy of early morning bird songs. An animal lover, Isabel’s life wouldn’t be complete without cats and dogs. She dreams of visiting Punjab, India, her father’s homeland, in the near future. Every year between Christmas and New Year, she treats herself to a Godfather trilogy marathon with hot chocolate and popcorn. Music by The Gypsy Kings and Al Jarreau is often playing in the background. Isabel’s curiosity drives her belief that every problem has a solution, fueling her creativity at work and her dedication to one day helping eliminate homelessness.
Aurora Alvarado
Chief Program Officer
One of Aurora’s passions is traveling to destinations that are not so well-known, whether local or abroad. As a food lover, she is always eager to try new flavors and expand her culinary experiences. Aurora cherishes spending time with her family, especially when they’re traveling together. She’s the type of traveler who loves to plan every detail of the itinerary, down to the minute. Recently, she’s become quite attached to her little Shih Tzu, Yoshi, who was originally a gift for her daughter but has completely stolen her heart. Aurora also enjoys arts and crafts, though always wishes she had more time to create! Movies are another one of her joys, particularly those she can watch with her family—especially Disney films. Aurora welcomes challenges in all aspects of her life and loves finding creative ways to solve problems. Faith is central to who she is, and she strives to direct every action of her daily life toward God.
