The Alluvionic team has worked hard, and this award was for them. I am surrounded by people that are all in which is why we are able to be so successful and be recognized as leaders in Brevard and beyond.”

All award winners were featured in the SpaceCoast Business Magazine December issue. In her interview for the issue Romeu said, “I genuinely care about my family, employees and clients. I’m always looking to do the right thing for the right reasons. I want people to walk away from knowing or working with me better off for it.”
