Negocios Now

www.negociosnow.com Febrero 2023 3 HINA Wire O n track to celebrate its 16th anniversary, Nego- cios Now is working on a list of 50 fast-growing Latino companies that will be published in its annual "Who's Who in His- panic Business" issue. With this special edition, Negocios Now wants to empha- size that despite all the obstacles faced in the last three years, Lati- no companies in general remain on the path of growth like no other segment. "We know the devastating impact that the pandemic has had on countless small busines- ses, some have not yet recovered; and others, unfortunately, closed their doors," said Clemente Nica- do, publisher of Negocios Now. "But we also know that many others have not only emerged stronger from this experience, but are experiencing exponential growth," he said. The edition will be officially presented during the "Who's Who in Hispanic Business Gala," which has Wintrust as its pre- senting sponsor. "Our team works with the support of the community to identify those compa- nies, knowing that there are many more than 50 deserving companies, growing either through new contracts or starting operations in other states and countries. We are excited to work on this initiative and are welcoming nominations," he said. Nominations can be made by any member of our community and by entrepreneurs themselves on our page NegociosNow.com/ whoiswho. N icado Publishing recently announced that Wintrust Bank will once again be the presenting sponsor of the Negocios Now Who's Who in His- panic Business Gala. "Our team could not be more grateful for Wintrust's longtime support of Negocios Now in our effort to inform, educate, and celebrate our successful Hispanic business community," said Cle- mente Nicado, publisher of Nego- cios Now. "With its decade of support, Wintrust demonstrates its com- mitment to the Hispanic commu- nity of entrepreneurs in the Chica- go metropolitan area", he said. The gala, held for the first time in 2014, recognizes Hispanic leaders and is accompanied by a special edition of Negocios Now: "Who's Who in Hispanic Business." It includes more than 200 profiles of Latino leaders in top corporate jobs, nonprofits, government, and other sectors. The gala will also feature spe- cial recognitions such as the Busi- ness of the Year Award, the Latinas in Business Award, and the Lifeti- me Achievement Award. Negocios Now will be annou- ncing other sponsors of the event soon.
