Isabel Rafferty Zavala, founder and CEO of the leading digital media tech company Canela Media and winner of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 New York Award, will be the keynote speaker at the Negocios Now Gala this Friday, July 15.

“We couldn’t be happier to welcome Isabel, a young entrepreneur with an extraordinary vision that is amply demonstrated in the impetuous progress of Canela Media,” said Clemente Nicado, publisher of Negocios Now.

 In a profile, Forbes magazine highlights that the nascent company effectively connects brands with multicultural audiences through various touch points, including its newly launched free-to-stream platform, Canela.TV; influencer marketing; branded content; and more than 180 exclusive Spanish-language sites.

Isabel is recognized in the industry for her avant-garde approach and success in launching digital marketing companies and is regarded as one of the most accomplished Hispanic business leaders in advertising. Recently, she received the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2022 New York Award, the world’s most prestigious award for entrepreneurs.
