One Word that Best Describes Me: Friendly
Last year was a busy one for Khoury, Conrad and their team as they consolidated all of the Puerto Rico operations under one roof. Although they operate in a challenging market, the execs always yield significant results. They share the same vision when it comes to tackling problems—they anticipate them in advance so they can address them before situations grow worse. Khoury and Conrad also share a mutual belief when it comes to giving back. They have a charity golf outing that raises $145,000 for worthy organizations including The American Red Cross of Puerto Rick, The Boys & Girls Club of Puerto Rico and The United Way of Puerto Rico.
