Global Chamber New York City — July Highlights
As the Executive Director of Global Chamber New York City – I am reporting that our July Global Chamber New York City meeting was nothing short of extraordinary. An outstanding crowd of business leaders gathered to exchange ideas, forge connections, and celebrate global impact. I enjoyed co-facilitating with my partner Charles Bernard.

🎙️ Presenters Spotlight

 We welcomed two phenomenal new members:
Leon Perera, of YAMADA Consulting & Spire, shared his exceptional journey—from serving in Singapore’s Economic Development Board to co-founding Spire Research, growing it across 10 countries, and now leading cross-border M&A at YCG in NYC.

Sadiah Mohammed, President of Air Ocean Logistics International, moved us with her American Dream success story. Starting from home with two clients, she now operates in 190+ countries, helping newcomers expand globally and scale domestically—all while balancing life as a single mother. Her resilience and impact are nothing short of remarkable.

🧠 Workshop Wisdom
 Elizabeth Frederick of Criteria for Success, Inc. led a hands-on workshop on optimizing LinkedIn—showing us how to turn digital connections into real opportunities. Thanks to our Advisory Board Chair Charles Bernard for selecting her to present her expertise.
