Negocios Magazine has announced that Laura Gomez, CEO and Founder of GV Group, will be recognized with the "Excellence in Tax Strategy & Business Leadership Award" at the 2026 Top Entrepreneur of USA Awards, scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at the EB Hotel Miami. This honor underscores Gomez's significant contributions to helping entrepreneurs and investors navigate the complexities of establishing and expanding businesses in the United States.
The award acknowledges Gomez's professional career, business leadership, and expertise in developing tax strategies and business structures.

Gomez emphasizes that entrepreneurs today face the challenge of building companies with strong foundations to sustain growth over time. "Today, entrepreneurs understand that simply opening a company is not enough. The real challenge is to build a structure that allows the business to grow with clarity, efficiency, and a long-term vision," she stated.
