Entrepreneurs Sean Paul Cormier and Alejandro Fraticelli both of East Boston know what it takes to build a business while recognizing community and connections is stronger when you lived a diverse background, but as you grow, you do not have to abandon the community you came from.
Fraticelli, a business consultant in his own company VOLTAGE TRADES was started in his teens and had enough success that his ventures grew. It’s no surprise where he got some of that entrepreneurial spirit because his father in his teens also started his own company FRENCH BOUQUET OF BOSTON 30 years ago. The both of them decided a non-profit for the community that helped define who they are was just natural instinct.
Cormier emphasizes key ingredients into a successful non-profit where both Alejandro and himself believe the foundation of a diverse background can lead to sustainable success. “You have to know people and your fellow neighbors, businesses and be able to relate authentically because you are ultimately all in this together and have similar goals” Cormier says.
