"CEO & Founder at Onyx Enterprises"
A Note from the Founder "When I started Onyx Enterprises, I was not just building a business—I was challenging perceptions. At 24, as a lawyer entering the aggregate supply chain industry, I often found myself being the only woman in the room. I chose to build independently, without joining my family's existing businesses and without relying on family capital. The journey was not easy. Securing funding, earning trust, and finding the right people at the right time became some of my greatest challenges. But every challenge reinforced my belief that courage, perseverance, and integrity can create opportunities where none seem to exist. Onyx Enterprises is more than a company to me—it is a testament to the power of conviction and the courage to forge your own path."
Onyx Enterprises was founded on a simple belief: that determination, integrity, and vision can overcome even the most unconventional beginnings.
Established by a first-generation woman entrepreneur at the age of 24, Onyx Enterprises entered one of the most challenging and traditionally male-dominated industries—the aggregate supply chain sector. Despite coming from a family with established businesses across education, manufacturing, and mining, our founder chose to chart her own path rather than join the family enterprise.
Today, Onyx Enterprises continues to grow with the same values it was founded upon—creating lasting partnerships, delivering excellence, and proving that determination knows neither age nor gender.

Top Advice
"Don't wait for permission to build. Your age, gender, or background should never determine the size of your ambition. Stay resilient, trust the process, choose your people wisely, and keep moving forward—even when the path doesn't yet exist."
