Yajaira Morphonios

Ingrid Martinez is the President of Strategic Alliance Consultants. She was born in Havana, Cuba, and came to the U.S. in 2001. Despite receiving her bachelor’s in civil engineering from one of the most prestigious universities in her native Cuba, she found it difficult to find relevant opportunities in her field of expertise upon arrival to the U.S., which led her to work in different industries. As a result, she has extensive experience in international sales, education, marketing, entrepreneurship, and management—including the management of her family-owned restaurants, Havana Rumba and Mojito Tapas Restaurant. Her multifaceted experience has made her into a well-rounded business owner.

Her personal struggles with career advancement have made her become a relentless pursuer of opportunities for other minorities, especially woman of color. She uses her network and influence to connect minority talent with key stake holders and top tier organizations. She is a board member of the National Association of Women Business Owner (NAWBO) and helps the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee.

Outside of the office, she is an avid traveler, and is highly interested in developing her Emotional Intelligence and awareness.
