Luisa Mendoza is an innovative thought leader and trailblazer who has more than 20 years of experience in global business development and marketing, with a focus on tourism and sports. Luisa's career path at the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, Broward County Convention Center, Marriott International, Silverstein Properties, NYC & Company, and the NBA's Brooklyn Nets led her to become an entrepreneur and the first U.S. Hispanic female to create a global tourism, sports and entertainment company.
Because of her innovation, Luisa was nominated as an Industry Impactor Honoree of the Microsoft Legacy Project, naming her one of the most influential, groundbreaking Hispanic changemakers of our time. In addition, Luisa has been awarded “Mujer Destacada” - “Distinguished Woman” award, presented by El Diario, at the prestigious Harvard Club of New York, alongside Lourdes Ventura, New York State Supreme Court
Justice, and other influential women leaders.
Most recently Luisa was selected amongst 17 powerful Latinas in the United States and Latin America to share her powerful story and be a co-author of the book Extraordinary Latinas Volume II, which is an Amazon best-seller book.
Luisa is also a managing partner at AJL Reps, a representation company committed to connecting the world by representing brands in Latin America, North America, the U.S. Hispanic market, and Spain.
Luisa is the founder and CEO of UKONIK, a digital, marketing, and public relations firm committed to making their client's brands iconic; and the founder of Luisa Mendoza Inspires, where she has an opportunity to execute her passion to inspire others to pursue their dreams despite any adversity. Her story of coming to the U.S. as a 4-year-old immigrant whose first dining room table was a cardboard box to becoming a world-renowned serial entrepreneur is a testament that all things are possible for those who have the courage, passion, and grit to follow their dreams.
