About the Founder and program director Victor Aparicio
As the Director of Expande Business University, I am dedicated to transforming the Latino business landscape by providing high-impact education, strategic guidance, and an ecosystem of support for entrepreneurs. Expande University has become a cornerstone for Latino business growth and minority economic development, offering a structured, step-by-step program—entirely in Spanish—that equips business owners with the knowledge and tools to scale, sustain, and thrive.
With a degree in Marketing and Business from Francisco Marroquín University, my career has been defined by a passion for driving economic development, fostering leadership, and creating pathways for sustainable business success. Through live in-person training, group coaching, and networking opportunities, Expande University has built a thriving community where education meets action, and accountability leads to measurable results.
In 2024 alone, we have supported over 350 businesses across Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and the greater Triad region, making a direct impact on the economic stability and upward mobility of Latino entrepreneurs. By bridging knowledge gaps, providing access to key resources, and fostering a culture of innovation, we empower small businesses to become engines of local economic growth.
I am actively seeking partnerships, sponsorships, and alliances with organizations and leaders who share a vision for inclusive economic development. Whether through funding opportunities, strategic collaborations, or community-based initiatives, together we can expand access, amplify impact, and shape the future of Latino entrepreneurship.
Let’s connect and build something transformative! Direct email: oficina@expandebusiness.com
A special thank you to friends, partners and supporters for helping us empower, inspire and equip the latino community:
