Marina Gonzales is leaving her job as the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's president and CEO to work as a consultant.Marina Gonzales, who guided the San Antonio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce through the pandemic and moved its headquarters to Port San Antonio, is leaving the organization.
“I was ready to embrace entrepreneurship on my own after three years of success and fun at the chamber,” she said, noting her experience to running the nation’s oldest Hispanic chamber was in the nonprofit world, including as president and CEO of Child Advocates of San Antonio.Gonzales said the chamber’s succession plan calls for current board Chair JR Treviño to step into the CEO role on an interim basis as the board chooses how to seek a replacement.
She said she’s also investing in her father’s latest restaurant venture in Corpus Christi, but Gonzales Wolff, where she will be CEO, will be her main pursuit. She declined to name any current clients, and said Wolff was “handling that at this time, to make sure I can appropriately transition from the chamber, and fulfill my duties here.”
