Further Information
Ms. Quinteros is proud of her Ecuadorian roots, growing up in Ecuador’s largest city, Guayaquil, as the middle child in her family. Her father was an artisan jeweler and her mother a housewife. She attended elementary school through high school, and in 1983 earned a degree in Business Administration and Marketing at the University of Guayaquil. Before emigrating to the United States she worked for a travel agency and during the early 1980s an importer of general house goods and furnishings.
After arriving in the United States in 1982 she studied English at LaGuardia Community College and by 1985 had received an Associates Degree in Business Administration. Later that same year she was hired as an administration and operations personnel for the International Manufacturing Equipment Company (IMECO).
IMECO was a small international trader of construction and mining equipment and parts. Ms. Quinteros assisted the sales and shipping departments. When in 1988 IMECO merged with Hofortech Corporation, an exporter and trader for mining equipment, Ms. Quinteros became an expert on managing and supplying spare parts.
In 1989, the owners of IMECO and the Hofortech Corporation sold their shares to TORNO America. In 1990 TORNO America became IHC Services. This corporate restructuring allowed Ms. Quinteros to advance. She was given ninety percent of the South American accounts for spare parts and twenty percent of the European and Asian accounts. Ms. Quinteros worked for IHC Services through July 1994 when the company moved the majority of its operations to North Carolina, leaving only small offices in the New York and Hauppauge, New Jersey areas.
In 1992, Ms. Quinteros became a United States citizen.
In May 1995 the Screen Actors Guild, the nation’s largest labor union representing working actors, hired Ms. Quinteros. While there she worked in the Production Department on both large and small projects which were required to fit any type of production locale, talent, director, etc. The work appealed to her interest in movies and television and allowed her to explore her interest in the means of production for both mediums.
In April 1997 Ms. Quinteros began working for a U.S.-Japanese trading company. She mainly focused on importing resin used in the production of chewing gum. A year later she left the company for another importer/exporter of chemicals.
In August 1998, she rejoined IHC Services Inc., under the direction of Ezio Testa, CEO. During the 1997 to 1998 period the company obtained new manufacturing, distribution, and other agreements. She was hired to assist the Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. Later that year she became Parts Manager. By 2000, Ezio Testa, the CEO of IHC, promoted her to Principal Project Coordinator.
In 2006, IHC Services ceased operations.
In 2006 to 2007, Ms. Quinteros became product manager of Global Logistics Solutions (GLS), a representation/distribution company.
