PERSONAL BIO
Armando Ehrenzweig is the founder of Get in Motion Entrepreneurs. Born in Mexico, Armando has experienced first-hand many of the challenges the Spanish speaking entrepreneurs in the US are facing as they are trying to launch and grow their businesses. As a budding entrepreneur struggling to make his ventures grow in 2000, Armando quickly learned that there were not enough Spanish business-related programs. For many Latino immigrants like him who are relying on their entrepreneurial skills to make ends meet and improve their livelihoods, the lack of access to business technical skills in their native language is a major barrier.
A serial entrepreneur, Armando has developed numerous enterprises and supported in various capacities budding and established Latino entrepreneurs in the US, as well as Central and South America.
