Below is a synopsis as to the nature of the business and my major involvement in it. 1975 - 1977 Guarina Milk Products Inc., Union City, New Jersey. Nature of Business: Wholesale milk and diary products to supermarkets and general groceries stores. The emphasis of this business was on brand loyalty. Due to the heavy Cuban population in Union City, I patented "Guarina" a well known brand name in Cuba and packaged milk and other products with its logo. My major involvement was in the logistics of distribution, and marketing. 1981 - 1984 California Sportswear Inc., Miami, Florida. Nature of business: Clothing Manufacturing and Sales. Total work force: 50 My major involvement was managing the work flow in design, manufacturing, finish, and shipping, coordinating the purchasing of materials with the design group, as well as keeping financial stability. 1983 - 1985 Lider Import and Exports Inc., Miami, Florida. Nature of business: Import of fruits from South America for US distribution. In charge of creating and later managing the channels of distribution for the firm. Among our customers were Winn Dixie, Pantry Pride, and other local and national broker. 1986 - 1991 Agrimpex International Trading Inc., Miami, Florida. Nature of business: Local purchasing of commodities in 1.1 38 0�_ L 229 South America for US wholesale distribution of the - products. Export of trucks and heavy machinery to south America. The emphasis of this business was an intensive exchange of products between Chile and South Florida. I was very much involved in managing transactions considering the exchange rates of the Chilean peso versus the US dollar, the legal, banking, social, cultural and the general business environment of Chile and the United States. INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY 1983 - 1985 Our firm -Lider Import and Export- was the first one to fly fresh fruits directly from Chile to south Florida. Traditionally the receiving.area for the bulk of the Chilean imports to the US were the ports of Philadelphia and New York. Due to the high demand for grapes in the US during the first months of the year this product is able to bear the higher cost of air transport from Chile to South Florida. The cost was partially offset by the savings of not having *to truck the shipment from Philadelphia or New York. Our customers were happy to get the grapes in South Florida before the north eastern market, and we began to get orders from business we never dealt with before.

The trials and tribulations of having an enormous familial shadow has also been well docu- mented. Tessi Garcia has managed to deal with both. Tessi, sister of interna- tional movie star Andy Garda, has been in business some 21 years and remains one of the few women in the entire architectural and design industry to attain international renown while remaining the sole proprietor of her namesake firm. Locally, the Coral Gables -based Tessi Garcia & Associates Interior Design has had a wide array of commercial and insti- tutional clients, including downtown Miami's Freedom Tower as well as South Miami Beach's luxury South Pointe Towers. 'For those of us who are foreign born and Kaye endeavored to win the respect of native Americans (Anglos), recognition of our public-spiritedness is all the more precious and rewarding,' Tessi says. 41 look forward to the continuing growth of my adopted community and to being personally active in many functions on its behalf.' A resident of the island community of Key Biscayne, Tessi graduated from Miami -Dade Community College prior to opening her hugely successful architec- tural and design firm. She is currently chair of the City of Miami's Latin Quarter Review Board (a fust for a woman) as well as chairing the Greater Miami Chamber bf Commerce's taxing Burle Marx/Biscayne Boulevard Beautification Project, an enterprise in the works now for some time. '°throughout the years in Miami, I've come to realize that you can't take away from the city if you do not give back to the city,' says Tessi. 'For me, putting per- sonal and civic issues above business interests has been a matter of course; and a matter of good business. My credibility as a business person, in pan, stems from my deeply founded personal convic- tions.' It is precisely those convictions that have separated Tessi Garcia from others in her field. Into her third decade, Tessi Garda keeps building and designing her perfect world. MVM 1992 As Publiahed in the MIAMI MENSUAL MAGAZINE, March 1992 Ricbard Perez -Feria Miami!Aertnru!
