GUEST: Karla Briones
Mexican-Canadian serial entrepreneur with a passion to helping others succeed in their business journey.
I use my 10-year business experience to mentor, coach and help new immigrants become successful entrepreneurs in their adopted country.
Honoured to be part of the team of independent business advisors at Invest Ottawa (IO) - where I provide strategy services to local aspiring and current entrepreneurs. I help companies get to their first $1M faster as a facilitator of IO's Peer Groups.
In 2018, the City of Ottawa recognized my contributions in the local economy and entrepreneurship ecosystem with the Newcomer Entrepreneur of the Year award.
I actively give back to my community and volunteer as a mentor with Futurpreneur Canada, WorldSkills and other local community groups, as well as playing a larger role in business advocacy as a Board member of the Ottawa Board of Trade.
