2. The youngest of four siblings, Eduardo often had to
act out just to get attention when growing up in his
childhood home in Orlando. While some may see this
as a negative trait, it led to the development of his
unique, charismatic way of doing business as an
adult. Entering the beverage industry at the age of
22, he has never thought of leaving. With his military
discipline and passion for sales and marketing,
Eduardo is a self-motivated machine that will work
tirelessly for that which he sets his mind to.

14. Eduardo Peraza
You know how it’s difficult to decide what products to
display, where to display them, how to arrange them? Well, what I do is
monitor the market to see what people want right now and how they want it, In fact,
the displays I build have become exponentially more successful since I took them
over from the last person.
