Patti Perez is a Salvadoran immigrant, workplace culture expert, bestselling author, and founder of Persuasion Point, where she helps organizations build healthier, more authentic, and people-centered workplaces.

Born in El Salvador and raised in the United States, Patti’s journey later expanded internationally, including time living in Rome, Italy. Her immigrant experience deeply shaped her identity and fueled her commitment to authenticity, self-worth, and purpose-driven leadership.
