Though she has made herself a business professional, Kira Volpi has never forgotten where she came from. After building her own successful designer brand distribution company, Volpi works to help others achieve their dreams. Volpi’s business started out in her own home, and within the first year, sold over 1.4 million, developed retail chain relationships with over 20 different retail chain buyers, and moved to a 3000 square foot facility.  Since then Volpi's newest company The Global Matrix Group established in 2005 not only distributes but represents products.  Everything from skin care and makeup products to high-end clothing and accessories. This company is a success in its industry. Volpi can understand the obstacles females face in starting up in the business world, having taken on the challenge herself. Volpi is now is eager to assist young women in developing their own businesses. Volpi provides free advice to all young, ambitious women that are interested in becoming entrepreneurs. Volpi gives advice and guidance in areas like starting a corporation, setting up bank accounts, acquiring loans, developing relationships, and getting merchant accounts. Being charitable is not new for Volpi. While owning a restaurant in Costa Rica Hurricane Caesar struck. Many locals and tourists were without power, transportation, and phone lines during the storm. Right away, Volpi and her crew went into action, providing shelter and food to those in need. A boat used by the locals transported tourists to safety, and Volpi helped with food and clothing. Volpi used the resources the restaurant had in order to aid those in need, and make them feel as comfortable as possible during that stressful and dangerous time. When Volpi is not running her own business or helping others, Volpi enjoys traveling. Volpi enjoys visiting Ft. Lauderdale, Key West, San Diego, New York and Rome, she has seen much of the world and has established many international relationships. Volpi loves to rescue dive and snorkel while staying at her coastal locations, and loves to cook and enjoy gourmet food while in Rome. Volpi is a member in a gourmet wine club.  She also enjoys wine from all over the world. Volpi likes to relax by reading books like Rich Dad Poor Dad, Think and Grow Rich, and How to Save on Your Taxes Big Time. Volpi is inspired to make her business and professional life as successful as possible with these words.
