Washington, D.C. - April 7th,2025 – The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce (NPRCC) is proud to announce the addition of three distinguished leaders to its Board of Directors: Dr. José Morey, Laura Maristany, and James Berrocal Sizemore. Each brings a wealth of experience, innovative leadership, and a shared commitment to economic development and community advancement — strengthening NPRCC’s mission to empower Puerto Rican businesses and entrepreneurs across the United States and Puerto Rico.
Dr. José Morey, a visionary at the intersection of health, technology, and space, is the CEO and Founder of Ad Astra Media LLC and Co-Founder of Ever Medical Technologies. Widely recognized as the world’s first “Intergalactic Doctor,” Dr. Morey has served as a consultant for NASA, Forbes, MIT, and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. His groundbreaking work in innovation and medicine has helped position Puerto Rico as the future "Silicon Island," with features in Forbes, CNBC, and Hispanic Executive. He is also the co-author of the best-selling book Latinx Business Success. Dr. Morey’s expertise in entrepreneurship and advocacy for Latino business excellence makes him an invaluable asset to NPRCC’s vision for economic empowerment.
Laura Maristany, a seasoned advocate, community builder, and impact-driven leader, brings over two decades of experience in philanthropy, corporate affairs, and policy. She is the Founder & CEO of Prospera Insights LLC, advising on tech-driven economic growth and workforce innovation. Her tech startup, Katch Skills, is redefining how we capture and value real-world learning. A recognized force in fundraising and public policy, Laura has helped raise millions for global initiatives and has been awarded the prestigious Grand Cross of the Order of Civil Merit by the King of Spain. Her deep Capitol Hill experience and nationwide influence will amplify NPRCC’s efforts in shaping a stronger economic future for Puerto Rican communities.
James Berrocal Sizemore joins the board with more than 30 years of leadership in the data management industry, spanning entrepreneurial startups to global corporations. As Chief Strategist at Informatica, he leads the company’s global insurance industry go-to-market strategy. James is a sought-after thought leader, keynote speaker, and evangelist. Speaking on his appointment, he said: "I'm the proud son of a serial Puerto Rican entrepreneur from Lares. He was one of seventeen kids raised in a tiny 800 sq. ft. home, where he learned the values of hard work, family, and faith. My dad had an unparalleled work ethic and an even stronger sense of community — his work ethic took him far from the island, but his commitment to uplifting his community always brought him home. I'm thrilled to join the NPRCC board — yes, to support its vital mission, but even more personally, to honor the legacy of my father."
“We are incredibly excited to welcome Dr. José Morey, Laura Maristany, and James Berrocal Sizemore to our Board of Directors,” said Joel Berrocal, Executive Director of NPRCC. “Each of them brings a powerful blend of innovation, advocacy, and personal passion for advancing Puerto Rican prosperity. Their leadership will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Puerto Rican businesses and entrepreneurs.”
As NPRCC continues its work to foster economic opportunity, support entrepreneurship, and advocate for policies that uplift Puerto Rican businesses, the guidance of Dr. Morey, Laura Maristany, and James Berrocal Sizemore will be instrumental in driving meaningful impact.
