Meet Gonzalo de la Melena
CEO, Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and alumni of a Maricopa Community College Which of the Maricopa Community Colleges did you attend? I attended Mesa and South Mountain, transferred to ASU to complete my bachelor’s degree then attended Thunderbird School of Global Management for my MBA. Most valued experience? Having the opportunity to do business in more than 30 countries before the age of 30 was incredible, especially considering the only international travel that my family had done was when my father immigrated to this country. What is your strongest personal characteristic? Optimism. Most influential person? My mother, because of her dedication and encouragement to our family. Of what are you most proud in your career? Graduating from college at the same time as my mother. We were the first in our family to finish. What is your favorite thing about your career? Helping small businesses succeed. It’s gratifying. You make a difference in your Community. We make a difference in you.
