"He has a wide range of responsibilities for us," said Eileen Rodriguez, regional director of the SBDC. "Beyond exceeding his consulting goals, Javier also participated as the Small Business Network of the Americas Fellow for our state. He worked in Merida, Mexico, for two weeks and hosted the Mexican Fellow in Tampa for two weeks.
