We were honored to host the closing ceremony for the Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI) and Global Ties last week at Cézanne. 🎉
YLAI empowers outstanding entrepreneurs from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Canada to accelerate their commercial ventures and build lasting and sustainable networks.
In partnership with our sister company, , we hosted Petra, a talented entrepreneur who runs her own cocktail catering service in St. Vincent.
During her four-week placement, Petra jumped right into our teams during one of the busiest months of the year. She got a firsthand glimpse into the catering and events market in KC, actively helping out with operations and exchanging valuable insights along the way.
To cap off an already amazing month, Petra traveled to the YLAI Closing Forum in Washington, D.C., where she was named a semifinalist and won her solution pitch competition! 🍾
Congratulations, Petra! We are incredibly proud to have supported your journey and look forward to seeing your continued success back home.
