Our Leadership

The executive team of the US Diaspora United Chamber of Commerce brings together experienced business leaders, along with experts in international business, policy advocacy, and entrepreneurial development. It oversees the daily operations of the organization in advocating, supporting, educating, empowering, and promoting diaspora businesses and their interests in the broader American economic and political landscape.

USDUCC plays a crucial role in empowering diaspora and immigrant entrepreneurs by addressing documented barriers to success. Research shows that diaspora and immigrant entrepreneurs face distinct challenges including:

  • Language and cultural barriers in business negotiations
  • Limited access to traditional financing options
  • Challenges navigating regulatory frameworks
  • Lack of established business networks


Through targeted programs and initiatives, USDUCC helps to bridge these gaps while highlighting the innovative contributions of diaspora and immigrant entrepreneurs to the American economy. Our advocacy ensures these business owners’ interests are represented at local and national levels, fostering an environment that leverages their unique perspectives and drive.
