This panel connects attendees with leaders who have built influence, crossed borders, and created opportunities where none existed, offering real, practical insight your community can apply to their own careers and ventures.

Panelists:

• Stephanie Vasquez, Owner of Fair Trade Café, who turned a vision for ethical business into a Phoenix institution built on community trust, a values-driven supply chain, and a brand that has lasted nearly two decades.

• Jesús Arturo Herrera, CEO & Co-Founder of Necodex, who scaled a binational tech and nearshore staffing company across the U.S. and Mexico, building the kind of cross-border operation most companies are still trying to figure out.

• Laszlo Perez, Territory Vice President at Leslie's Pool Mart, who spent 20+ years in senior leadership at Target, Banner Health, and Leslie's, navigating corporate America at every scale without leaving his values at the door.

• Dr. Emma Viera, Executive Director of Unlimited Potential Arizona, has spent 30 years inside the NIH, state government, and community organizations, redesigning systems that weren't built for the communities she serves.

These are leaders your community can learn from directly. Offering perspective on building businesses, navigating corporate paths, operating across borders, and creating long-term impact.
