The staging of an event that would attract interested Guyanese in the diaspora as well as other interested international business people to become better briefed on the investment opportunities that now obtain in Guyana, a country which is in the process of a gradual transformation deriving mostly from the country’s world class oil find, in 2015, is one of the missions of Guyanese-born Stacey Mollison, a United States-based businesswoman whose own entrepreneurial credentials are reflected in her success, owning and operating the Libra Management Group (LMG) in Decatur, Georgia. Mollison has also already established two companies based in Georgetown and Linden, Guyana Property Solutions (GPS), and Libra Management and Energy Group.
Mollison, as far as the Stabroek Business is aware is the first businesswoman ever to stage an event of this nature in Guyana. This was the second year that she organized this unique business and investment conference — Destination Guyana Now — in Georgetown. Her success in attracting more than 200 registrants is a seeming tribute to confidence among external registrants that she possesses the credentials to likely open doors to investors in Guyana which, foreigners, whatever their global profiles, might well find difficult in accomplishing. Remarkably, she extols its importance in the framework of a “small group, big impact” context where she is channeling more qualitative and engaged investor interest than merely attracting a large quantity of unengaged participants.
