![]() "What I have learned from becoming a member of The Greater New York Chamber of Commerce" - Augusto Castillo, Bilingual Business Development Executive at Coorva |
Chamber Success Story - NetworkingJune 30, 2020First of all, I’d like to introduce myself briefly. My name is Augusto Castillo, and I’m one of the business development executives at Coorva. Coorva is a software development company that builds web platforms and mobile applications for our clients. One of my main activities is to expand our business across the United States.One afternoon, on July the 30th, 2019, I got a message from a Slack group (“Creative Business”). Said message was sent by an employee of the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce, asking me to become a member of it. Since we are located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my CEO, Gabriel Cartuccia, and I thought that it would be difficult for Coorva to become a member. Why? Because we would have to fly to New York City to attend the networking events. However, we decided to join the Chamber nonetheless, because we believed this might be translated into positive benefits for our business, like for example, using the GNYCC logo on our website, or for the Chamber to send email blasts about us to other businesses within the New York area. However, this situation has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic: the Chamber has implemented digital tools to help businesses and companies stay in touch with each other during the lockdown. We went from having a very small role at the Chamber, to become one of its most active members.
