GNI International and Georgetown Alumni Career Services invites you to attend the following Webinar:
"Women & Entrepreneurship: Basics & Realities of the Trade"
Thursday, August 2, 2012 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM EDT
There are a number of truths and critical questions any aspiring entrepreneur should consider before taking the startup-plunge.
An idea, even a great one, is not a business, nor reason enough to start one. Hear from business expert and President of GNI International, Giadha Aguirre De Carcer (G’07), as she introduces several best practices that can lead to successful launches and seed funding. This webinar seeks to demystify common assumptions relevant to the entrepreneurial journey and address less-talked-about realities associated with being a female entrepreneur, as well as ways to overcome the challenges while leveraging advantages we often forget we have.

Ms. DeCarcer will also review how to develop well-researched answers to the main questions related to entrepreneurship: a.) what is your market, b.) who is your target customer, and c.) how will you make money, are however viable reasons to consider said plunge.
Ms. DeCarcer has over a decade of experience in business management and strategic business development with an emphasis on emerging markets. Her current interest and focus lies in PPP opportunities and contract brokering between US-based firms and high-growth markets such as India, China, and Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as efforts to support women entrepreneurship. She is the founder of the Women Reinforcement Program (WeR) and Executive Director of the Grassroots Innovation Network (GrIN), both non-profit organizations supporting small business creation and innovation nationwide. Before founding GNI International, Ms. DeCarcer worked as a DC-based consultant supporting Fortung 100 companies in the Defense and Energy sectors, and as a New York-based investment banker with JPMorganChase. She founded and ran her first company, First Federal Transportation, at the age of 19.
Ms. DeCarer received a B.A. in International Relations and Trade from the University of Pennsylvania, an M.A. in International Security from the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service, and an AA in Business Administration from Miami Dade Community College.
