After 30 years in banking, Emilia DiMenco joined the Women’s Business Development Organization (WBDC) – first as a board member and then as CEO. WBDC serves all entrepreneurs and particularly women and underserved communities. Emilia understands and communicates the importance of managing cash and risks, how best to build capacity and, most importantly, to provide quality products and service while competing fairly on price.
WBDC works with entrepreneurs from start-up to succession, helping them to gain certification and pursue procurement opportunities, access capital and networks, and continue to learn.
Emilia looks ahead to more free time to focus on health and wellness, travel adventure, more time with her son’s family, music lessons and digging deeper into world history.
“Allowing a younger generation to take over allowed me to use my skills to benefit an underserved population.” – Emilia DiMenco
