Bisila Bokoko is considered one of the ten most influential Spanish women in American business.

She is the former director of the Spain-US Chamber of Commerce in New York, CEO of BBES International and Founder of the BBLP African Literacy Project whose mission is to promote literacy among African people.

Bisila has created a collection of wines called “Bisila Wines” made in Spain, which has received international recognition.

Since 2010 she has worked closely with the UNCTAD with the EMPRETEC program, supporting emerging entrepreneurs from all parts of the world.

Recently Bisila was awarded by the UN Hospitality Committee with the 2019 Citizen of the World Award.
