Joan Laureano – Puerto Rico’s Creative Jewelry Designer and Exporter

Welcome back to Export Stories Podcast 2023.  Prepare to be wowed by today’s guest!  Our theme for this year is the 50 States, but we haven’t stopped there.  Some of our most important and interesting exports come from the U.S. territories.  Today’s episode focuses on Puerto Rico and a very successful entrepreneur, jewelry fashion designer, manufacturer, and exporter. Her name is Joan Laureano, the creator & owner of the fashion jewelry and accessories brand, KRYSTALOS, and the international Catholic brand sensation, DEVOZIONI. Her stories of developing her business from scratch and her expansion into export markets are ones you will want to hear. I want to thank our wonderful sponsor of today’s podcast, the North Carolina District Export Council.  They are doing the everyday work of supporting U.S. exports. After you’ve listened, we would love for you to share your thoughts and comments, which you can post at https://www.exportstoriespodcast.com/ or on our Facebook or LinkedIn pages. Thank you very much for listening!
