MONROE, La. — Marco Moran, local business owner and University of Louisiana Monroe
alumnus, has been chosen to participate in the White House Business Council and Business
Forward.
Moran is the CEO of Dewmar International Brand Management Company, Inc., a company
which manufactures functional foods and beverages. Moran is also a consultant to The
Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy on South Street in Monroe.
As member of the White House Business Council, Moran offers feedback on job creation
and other efforts to stimulate the economy through growth of small businesses. As
an added perk, Moran has the opportunity to invite other CEOs or industry leaders
to attend council meetings on a variety of issues concerning commerce, public health
and economic policies. Earlier this year, Moran was chosen by White House Officials
to weigh in on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement after a group discussion was
held on improvements in international trade.
Additionally, Moran is playing an integral role in developing opportunities to help
many U.S. companies understand how to export goods and services to Cuba and 11 other
countries. Moran has also been involved in multiple discussions to find a solution
for the Zika virus with White House and Homeland Security officials.
"Many times when I am invited to attend White House Business Forward sessions, I am
asked to invite other business leaders from around the country; so far this year,
I have invited business leaders representing companies in Louisiana, Mississippi,
Texas and Colorado. My goal is helping small businesses in the United States increase
both their gross sales revenue and corporate footprint across the globe," says Moran.
Moran holds an undergraduate degree from the ULM School of Pharmacy and a MBA from
the ULM School of Business. Moran also serves as chair of the Mississippi District
Export Council (DEC), a regional organization of leaders from the international business
community which assist and enhance opportunities to export goods and services.
Local business leaders interested in exporting their products or services may call
Moran at 877-747-5326.
