Karla Trotman, MBA

Electronics Manufacturing CEO | Board Member | 3rd Gen Entrepreneur5d

This evening, while I was in Monaco celebrating the World EOY winner, I was announced as a winner of the Philly Regional EOY! Thankfully, my father was home and able to accept in my place. While in Monaco, before the announcement, I was manifesting my win and wearing lavender to honor my mother who held the family down financially while my father was building Electro Soft, Incorporated – Electronics Contract Manufacturing (ECM) on the kitchen table. I grew up working side by side with him in those early stages, cutting wire for $0.10/hour. Now I am the owner and President. And an EOY regional winner.
