PHOENIX - Arizonar -- Phoenix, Arizona — Torres Multicultural Founder and CEO Tania Torres has been named one of AZ Business Magazine's Most Influential Women in Arizona Business for 2026, a distinction recognizing exceptional leadership, vision, and impact across Arizona's business community.

Selected from more than 2,200 women considered throughout Arizona, the honorees represent leaders making significant contributions across business, real estate, technology, healthcare, nonprofit organizations, and other key industries.

The recognition comes as Torres Multicultural enters its next phase of growth, expanding its capabilities to meet increasing demand from business leaders, entrepreneurs, elected officials and organizations seeking high-level strategic counsel.

After more than 25 years advising organizations on communications, community engagement, cultural intelligence, stakeholder relations, and reputation management, Torres Multicultural is launching a new Strategic Advisory Service Line (https://taniatorres.com) designed to help leaders navigate growth, influence, visibility, stakeholder trust and organizational transformation.

"This recognition has given me an opportunity to reflect on the incredible journey I've been fortunate to have over the past 25 years," said Torres. "Throughout my career, I've helped organizations build trust, strengthen relationships, navigate cultural complexity, and create meaningful connections with the communities they serve. Today, we're seeing more leaders seek strategic guidance that goes beyond traditional communications or marketing. They're looking for trusted advisors who can help them think differently, see around corners, and navigate growth with purpose. The launch of our Strategic Advisory Service Line is a direct response to that need."

Founded in 2009, Torres Multicultural grew from a startup launched during a period of significant change in Arizona into one of the state's most respected multicultural communications firms. Over the past 18 years, the firm has partnered with Fortune 500 companies, public agencies, transportation projects, nonprofit organizations, and political leaders to build authentic connections with diverse communities throughout Arizona and beyond.

As organizations face increasingly complex challenges, the need for experienced strategic counsel has never been greater.

"Many of our clients are looking beyond tactical execution," Torres said. "This service line allows us to support clients at an even higher strategic level while continuing to deliver the community-centered work that has defined our company for more than a decade."

Through the Strategic Advisory Service Line (https://taniatorres.com), Torres will work directly with a select number of organizations and leaders in areas including cultural intelligence, leadership positioning, stakeholder engagement, community trust, executive visibility, strategic communications, organizational growth, strategic partnerships, and market expansion.

The decision to limit the number of advisory engagements reflects a commitment to providing meaningful value and personalized guidance to each client.

"I'm intentionally being selective," Torres said. "The goal is not to serve more clients. The goal is to create deeper impact with the right clients. By limiting the number of advisory engagements, I can provide the level of strategic partnership and insight these leaders are looking for."

These investments include enhanced digital platforms, expanded advisory capabilities, and the future development of technology-driven tools designed to help leaders navigate an increasingly multicultural marketplace.

"At its core, this expansion is about impact," Torres added. "I've spent my career helping organizations understand people, build trust, and strengthen relationships. The Strategic Advisory Service Line (https://taniatorres.com) allows me to bring those same experiences and lessons directly to leaders who are shaping the future of their organizations and communities. I believe the future belongs to organizations that can combine cultural intelligence, human connection, and innovation—and that's exactly where we're headed."
