HOUSTON - eTradeWire -- DW&A, the globally recognized human capital strategy firm known for helping clients unlock over $1.5 billion in measurable performance gains through business transformation, leadership strategy, and human capital optimization, proudly announces the appointment of Adrian Barajas '25 as its newest Marketing + Sales Activation Intern.

Barajas, a senior Agricultural Communications and Journalism major at Texas A&M University, first connected with DW&A through the DW&A Career Transformation Accelerator™—a high-impact, personality-based consulting experience built to help ambitious professionals get clear, get positioned, and get paid. After completing the program, 80% of clients receive offers; some boost earnings by $35K or more; and many land leadership-track roles at top-tier companies.

Demonstrating exceptional leadership and marketing results, Barajas earned his invitation to join the DW&A brand growth team. This move reflects DW&A's deep investment in next-generation leadership and its commitment to advancing career transformation, human capital strategy, and workforce development innovation.

When DW&A's brand partners, Rich From Anywhere and Stevie Johnson, recommended expanding the team to drive digital engagement and sales activation, Dr. Dana D. Wells, MBA, SHRM-SCP, HCS, CWDP, DW&A's award-winning Founder and Chief Human Capital Strategist, already had someone in mind.
