PALO ALTO, Calif., July 31, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mark Madrid, CEO of Latino Business Action Network (LBAN), has been invited to join Silicon Valley Business Journal Leadership Trust, an exclusive community for influential business leaders, executives and entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley.
Mark was chosen for membership by the Silicon Valley Business Journal Leadership Trust Selection Committee due to his experience, leadership and influence in the local business landscape and beyond. Mark is CEO of the Latino Business Action Network (LBAN), a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization with the purpose of strengthening the United States by improving the lives of Latinos through funding and supporting Latino research and education impact programs at Stanford University Graduate School of Business (GSB). LBAN collaborates with GSB to champion the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative, which explores and expands knowledge of the Latino entrepreneurship segment in the U.S. economy through research, knowledge dissemination, and facilitated collaboration. The goal of LBAN is to double the number of $10+ million, $100+ million, $1+ billion Latino-owned businesses in the U.S. by 2025. In his role with LBAN, Mark and the LBAN team have cultivated strategic partnerships with the likes of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the International Economic Development Council, the International Women's Entrepreneurial Challenge, the Aspen Institute, the Latino Donor Collaborative and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (and Foundation).
"Silicon Valley's thriving business community is powered by leaders like Mark," said Mary Huss, publisher of the Silicon Valley Business Journal. "We're honored to be creating a space where the region's business influencers come together to increase their impact on the community, build their businesses and connect with and strengthen one another."
As an invited member, Mark will contribute articles to the Silicon Valley Business Journal website and participate alongside fellow members in Expert Panels. He will connect and collaborate with a vetted network of local leaders in a members-only directory and a private forum on the group's mobile app. Mark will also benefit from leadership and business coaching, an Executive Profile on the Silicon Valley Business Journal website, select partner discounts and services and ongoing support from the community's concierge team.
"I am fanatically energized about joining this esteemed group of leaders in the Silicon Valley and throughout the U.S.," Mark stated. "Leadership velocity in my estimation is generated through collective wisdom, outcomes and impact rather than individual achievement. Through the Silicon Valley Business Journal Leadership Trust, we will continue to lead the nation in innovation, technology and powerful networks, and I am fired up that LBAN, a Latino organization, is positioned in the center of it all."
The Silicon Valley Business Journal Leadership Trust team is honored to welcome Mark to the community and looks forward to helping him elevate his personal brand, strengthen his circle of trusted advisors and position him to further impact the Silicon Valley business community and beyond.
