Lima Chamber of Commerce Chooses Martha Pajuelo Escobar, Terranova Peru, as 2017 IWEC Awardee

Martha Pajuelo Escobar, CEO, Terranova Peru, www.terranovaperu.com

Martha is the founder of Terranova, a company dedicated to the production of utilitarian ceramics with more than 25 years in the market.  It is the oldest company in Peru that demonstrates high social responsibility as, despite the recession and market crisis, has always relied on domestic production, providing working opportunities for many Peruvian women.  The company is also launching a new line, Author Dishes, taking advantage of the boom in Peruvian cuisine.  Terranova has received many awards from the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for high quality and for best business practices.

Congratulations, Martha!

Martha will be attending the 10th Annual IWEC Conference, held on Nov. 12-14th in Redmond, Washington, to accept her award.

The 2017 IWEC conference, whose theme is “Connecting Women Businesses Globally: Accelerating Growth through Innovation & Technology”, celebrates a milestone: IWEC’s 10th anniversary. The conference is sponsored by Microsoft and hosted at their corporate headquarters in Washington state. The theme of the conference is very fitting not only for the venue, but for the emphasis that IWEC places on mentoring, education and cross-collaboration across borders. The conference agenda is a thought-provoking set of panels and presentations covering threads such as “Doing Business in the U.S.”, “Artificial Intelligence” and “Cybersecurity and Blockchain,” among others.
