The NPRCC is excited to welcome Lorena Molina-Irizarry, Founder and CEO of 1iLabs, as the newest member of the Board of Directors at the National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce.

She leads 1iLabs with a mission to transform regional ecosystems into engines of sustainable economic growth. Her work focuses on building partnerships across government, academia, industry, and social sectors to drive innovation and expand opportunity in the digital economy.

Lorena brings deep experience from her time as a Senior Advisor at the U.S. Department of Commerce, the Census Bureau, and the White House. In these roles, she advanced economic growth strategies for Puerto Rico, improved data and governance systems, and supported the implementation of the American Rescue Plan.

As co-founder of the Census Open Innovation Labs, she helped launch public-private initiatives that promoted open data, civic tech, and informed decision-making at all levels.

Lorena has spent her career building bridges across sectors to solve complex problems. Her leadership will be a valuable asset as the Chamber continues to support Puerto Rican entrepreneurs, advocate for pro-growth policies, and strengthen our national network.

Please join us in welcoming Lorena to the NPRCC Board of Directors.
