BuildBlock is proud to announce Alfonso Nieves, our Latin American Sales Executive, has been named to the Oklahoma Governor’s International Team.

The Governor’s International Team, or GIT, is a select group of citizens with representation from private industry, government, education and non-profit organizations. Their mission is to create a stronger Oklahoma in the global economy through business development supported by a climate of international focus by the general public. Their activities are done in partnership with the Oklahoma Secretary of State and Oklahoma Department of Commerce.

“I am very excited and fortunate to be working with such an important group of experienced and dedicated business leaders with such an important mission,” said Alfonso.

When asked what his main goals for Oklahoma are while serving on the GIT Alfonso elaborated, “I want to share experiences and educate local businesses about the great potential of financial growth by expanding their business into other countries. Most of the time we don’t think about it, it seems intimidating or impossible to do but it is easier than what you might think. I believe this is a great source of revenue for the State that we could increase considerably.”

Congratulations Alfonso, we couldn’t think of a better person to serve on this important team!
