Zafar Brooks has managed Hyundai Motor America’s corporate-social-responsibility initiatives for the last six years. He has successfully helped transform the Korean car manufacturer’s philanthropic outreach into a multimillion-dollar initiative that drives brand advocacy and, most importantly, makes a difference. The Director of Governmental Affairs, Corporate Social Responsibility and Diversity Inclusion emphasizes that this success has been a team effort and that he has learned from others.
“There are many men and women who have been in this work a long time who have great lessons to teach,” Brooks says. Compared to them, “I’m a novice,” he says.
