IN SHORT

Gabriela Enrigue knew early in life that she wanted to make an impact. It took her a little while to find her niche and although it was a bit frustrating at times, she gained a lot of valuable experience along the way. In 2009 she founded Prospera, an organization dedicated to helping local entrepreneurs thrive. She also runs a similar project called CREA, focusing exclusively on supporting female entrepreneurs. “My job is about helping people who want to move forward. I have always wanted to do things that make an impact. It has always been about doing and doing, and how to make it last.”
