Myriam Osorio McCormick

Born and raised in Honduras, I studied Finance & Baking in Honduras, went to INCAE for my MBA and after working for SABMiller for approximately 7 1/2 years I decided to study Culinary Arts and become a Culinary Arts Chef and Chef Chocolatier.

I have my own business, McCormick Bakery & Chocolate Factory, with the help of my family since 2010. I have one shop at the Museo para la Identidad Nacional (MIN) at Tegucigalpa downtown area.

I'm a very passionate person, goal oriented and determined to export Cocoa and Chocolate goods from my country and place the name of Honduras in global chocolate markets.

I've worked for 3 years in Supply Chain Management, 3 years in Production facilites, 3 years in relevant Marketing experience, 5 years as entrepreneur, various consulting work in Food and Beverages and Marketing areas for Food and Hospitality Companies.

In 2012, I won the National Innovation Prize given by ANDI/JOVIN and BCIE and won 3rd place in Central America for my project: Added Value for Cocoa Production in Honduras. Since then, I've visited most of the major cocoa producers in the country and developed 3 products to export from Honduras to the World.

I'm a Rotarian, committed to serve my community and I believe in the communities' well being as the central piece for peace in my country. I also believe in fairness and equality in jobs and remuneration.
