“I founded RB Advisory because after years of working in corporate America and being told that I have great ideas, I decided after many struggles and lessons learned to start my own company,” says Regine Bonneau CTPRP, founder and CEO, RB Advisory.” One of her favorite inspiring quotes is from Amelia Earhart which sums up her inspiration, “The most difficult thing is the decision to act. The rest is merely tenacity.”

As a black woman, immigrant turned U.S. citizen, single mother, engineer and business owner in an industry that is only 20% women — and only about 3% are black men and women, Bonneau is an example. She is passionate about paving the way for females of all races to have a seat at the table in this industry. She refers to the saying, “success is not achieved alone,” stressing its importance. “I’ve been very fortunate to have many mentors who have helped me along the way, especially as an entrepreneur, so it’s important to find mentors and surround yourself with the right people who can help you reach your goal,” says Bonneau.
Currently, Bonneau serves as the President of the NAWBO Orlando Chapter serving women-owned businesses in Central Florida.
