Description

How do you define success? For Nina Vaca, it was starting a business at 25 to connect people to opportunities. Born in Ecuador, Nina moved to the U.S. with her family in search of more opportunities. Watching her parents work multiple jobs, she learned the values of diligence, determination, and authenticity. Discovering her passion for serving others at 17, Nina pursued her entrepreneurial dreams wholeheartedly. Today, in 2024, Nina Vaca embodies the American Dream as a pioneering Latina entrepreneur, philanthropist, and global leader. Over 28 years, she has transformed Pinnacle Group from a one-woman IT staffing firm into a powerhouse providing workforce solutions across industries. Beyond business, Nina is deeply involved in philanthropy, supporting numerous global causes. Appointed as Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship by President Barack Obama in 2014, Nina is a beacon of inspiration. Outside of work, Nina cherishes life to the fullest. An avid triathlete for two decades, she has redefined failure and emphasizes the importance of living fully. She also treasures time with her husband and four children in Dallas, Texas. As we celebrate Women's History Month this March, we are honored to share Nina's remarkable journey. Connect with Nina Vaca on LinkedIn and visit her website at ninavaca.com.
