Quenia Abreu
President and CEO
of New York Women's Chamber of Commerce
Quenia Abreu, President and CEO of the New York Women's Chamber of Commerce.
In April 2011, Quenia was honored for creating opportunities for immigrants to become economically empowered individuals through business ownership, microenterprise and self-employment. Which lead to her being presented the 'Business Leader Award' by Mayor Bloomberg at the 8th Annual Immigrant Heritage Week Celebration.
As an immigrant herself, she understands the verbal and cultural challenges immigrants face when starting businesses but also the lack of financial resources and support systems necessary to launch and grow a successful business.
Through her efforts, the New York Women's Chamber of Commerce has provided business assistance to over 10,000 members, secured more than 20 millions is capital, 40 millions in procurement contracts and assisted in the development of more than 4,000 new businesses.
Thank you Quenia for leading the way for Women in Business. |
