Kelly Ireland and Debra Torturo often felt a void when working for other companies because it provided them with minimal control over their economic and professional growth. They decided to establish Carrillo Business Technologies, Inc., which specializes in Information Technology.  The customer based business sales software and hardware was a big hit with corporate clients.  With solid business principles, they anticipated their company would thrive in ways other businesses did not.  Boeing took notice of their business philosophies and became one of their clients.  Carrillo Business Technologies, Inc revenue now peeks between $50 and $55 million and looks to expand its portfolio by tapping into the federal business industry.  

U.S Navy Reserve Veteran Thom Kroon provides strategic solutions and solid expertise to his aerospace company, Damar. With a strong background in national security and defense technologies, the company, which was founded in 1973, drafted Boeing as their Tier One supplier.  As a result, Damar has nearly quadrupled its employee size.  Thom’s leadership skills and versatile knowledge will allow the company to thrive for years to come.
