Marcia studied chemical engineering and worked at Nestlé for 10 years. There she acquired extensive knowledge in the areas of production, continuous improvement and quality control. At Coca-Cola, she acquired expertise in flavor creation. Over time, her desire to produce beverages independently grew, so in 2021 she started producing filtered water and isotonic drinks on a part-time basis. From 2022, she concentrated fully on her business and soon hired additional staff. She successfully founded her own company offering bottled drinking water.
Despite her international experience, Marcia emphasizes how much working with the BPN Foundation has already helped her to make complex issues simple and practical. The clear financial overview showed her how much she needed to sell in order to break even. The coaching made her realize that although she wants to give everyone in Nicaragua access to clean water, she first has to work profitably.
With energy and passion, Marcia strives for growth in quantity and variety of flavors. She is currently focusing on large containers for offices in order to be present in Managua, Nagarote and later in cities such as Leon and Chinandega. This will increase sales and enable further investment. Marcia also hopes to acquire an adjacent property to have enough space for expansion.
