In this 100th episode, it is my honor to have coffee with special guest Lourdes Mola, Founder and President of Lourdes Mola Solutions. 

Lourdes cut her teeth in leadership roles at the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line and Celebrity Cruise Lines in Miami, which led her to Walt Disney World where she was on the opening team of the Disney Cruise Line. In her 20-year tenure at Disney, Lourdes led several areas in sales, marketing, public affairs, minority business development, and corporate citizenship, where she was exposed to a myriad of significant local and international businesses, nonprofits, and professional associations. 

After more than 25 successful years working in Fortune 500 companies and having led one of the largest chambers of the country - the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, of Metro Orlando and other non-profit organizations, Lourdes mines deep expertise from working with the brightest minds across Florida and the U.S., to help her clients optimize their profits. 

In 2021, Lourdes was named “CEO of the Year” by Orlando Magazine and in 2020, she was named a “Women Who Means Business” by the Orlando Business Journal for her contributions to Central Florida. 

In 2016, she was named “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the Women’s Executive Council and then again by I4 Business Magazine in 2021. 

Lourdes takes pride in supporting her community and providing positive and
inspirational guidance to the next generation of entrepreneurs, business developers
and innovators. Most recently she chaired the Heart of Florida United Way’s
“Women United” movement to raise funds for awareness and programs about
mental health in Central Florida. She has served on numerous nonprofit boards,
including the Central Florida Economic Development Commission, Orlando Economic
Partnership, Prospera, Hispanic Heritage Scholarship Fund of Metro Orlando, Central
Florida Foundation and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando and appointed by two governors to serve on the board of the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County.

Lourdes is also sharing her experience and expertise to help women entrepreneurs as a Regional Director of Strategic Partnerships and Community Outreach for Women's Business Enterprise Council (WBEC). WBEC is the largest certifier of women-owned businesses in the U.S. and a leading advocate for women entrepreneurs.
