Omar Cuevas

Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce
Best Supporting Man 

Omar Cuevas is Vice President of Investor Relations at the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce. Omar— whose greatest accomplishment is honoring the legacy of his grandmother and mother, who raised him as a single parent—offers close to 20 years of community-focused and results-oriented work. Omar is involved in the community, serving on many boards and committees, including Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services and the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.

Omar says, “One of my greatest accomplishments in supporting the work of women is creating a culture within the teams I’ve led that encourages the career development of my female employees, particularly women of color. Throughout the years, I’ve acted as a mentor and coach, providing guidance and support to my female colleagues, and working to break down any barriers that may be holding them back.”
