Who we are

Lizzie Martinez Alvarez

(she/her), MPA’15

Founder of eEnterprises International

Our founder, Lizzie Martinez Alvarez, has years of professional experience in teaching financial literacy and helping budding entrepreneurs. She studied financial accounting at National University and received her degree in executive public administration, policy, and governance at the University of Washington. She’s held various financial positions from 1990 through 2009, including over 10 years with the FDIC. She is the founder of the Puget Sound chapter of the Urban Financial Services Coalition, the pre-eminent financial services organization that promotes the economic development of its members and minority communities at large.

She created eEnterprises with the intent of leading a change within the community by sharing what she’s been learning and discovering in her experience in business, education, and life. Her goal is to help students and young entrepreneurs discover their full potential in a manner that makes it more equitable for everyone.

Lizzie now focuses tirelessly on her volunteer work to empower youth in high schools by teaching financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and digital tools for businesses in the modern world.

History of eEnterprises International

Amidst her work, Lizzie realized her passion for building a community and encouraging entrepreneurs with their financial endeavours. Her goal is to pursue this passion at a larger scale that can expand its reach and help share what she’s learned. Building off her non-profit work in financial consulting and literacy, she created eEnterprises International with the goal of helping individuals reach their full potential.

The eEnterprises International space is occupied with volunteers, college students, interns, and young entrepreneurs from the Urban Financial Services Coalition next generation programs. The community is a big part of who we are and that’s why we host workshops in conjunction with the Financial Services Coalition-Puget Sound Charitable Foundation and our partner Operation Hope, among others.
