Denise Berry: Veteran and Entrepreneur

Women in Business - Commercial Real Estate , Female Business Success & Entrepreneur Stories

This week on Women Influencers, I spoke with Denise Berry. She owns and manages Luciano Equity and Co-founded Medical Industries of the Americas after having served a 400 day deployment to Iraq as a U.S. Army Combat Medic.

We discussed the challenges she faced in her childhood and early adulthood, having been raised in the mountains of Santa Cruz, California with her brother by their Father who is disabled. When things got tough, and they did, Denise remembered the recurring dreams she had of a future where she gave public speeches and helped people in different countries.

After her deployment, Denise took the opportunity provided to her by the G.I. Bill to complete her college education, earning her Bachelor’s and her Master’s degrees at California State University. She never felt she really fit in at any of the various jobs she tried, and after a boss refused her request to leave work to care for her sick sister, she decided she would make it her mission to never have a job again and quit on the spot. As Denise said, some people are just meant to be Entrepreneurs.

We spoke about challenges, influence, and Denise shared some great advice from Mother Theresa.
