Spryte Loriano

Spryte Loriano, President and Chief Humanitarian Officer, HUB Since the age of 21, Spryte has been an entrepreneur and marketer. She graduated Summa Cum Laude, Valedictorian from FIDM in Los Angeles with a Merchandising/Marketing degree, and started her own Marketing and Print Brokering business. By the age of 26 Spryte was awarded, "Small Press Publisher of the Year" from the American Booksellers Association for her niche-marketing talents. Recognized for her networking and business abilities, she was soon offered a unique business opportunity in the Closeouts and Liquidations industry, specializing in building relationships with Name Brand Manufacturers, and by the age of 31 had built a two million dollar business and was living her financial "dream" in Southern California.

After a debilitating year of divorce, bankruptcy and being diagnosed with glaucoma, Spryte had a spiritual wake-up call that transitioned her into a holistic healing career, where for over 5 years she helped clients find emotional and physical relief from debilitating illnesses working alongside naturopaths, acupuncturists and homeopaths in Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara. She is a spiritual teacher, divine feminine workshop developer and leader, and author of the book 9 Secret Ingredients of a DELICIOUS Life.

In 2003 she and her partner began a part-time home-based business in network marketing and within a year and a half, had built a successful organization providing financial and time freedom, allowing Spryte to pursue her passion to serve others more fully. In May 2006 she formed FEED333 (Feminine Enlightened Entrepreneurs Dedicated) and in 33 days raised nearly $300,000 through a viral marketing campaign that provided 1.2 million meals to hungry children in the US.

Through networking and collaborations she has also helped sponsor and organize three years of the single largest food drops in US history with Larry Jones of Feed The Children, Salvation Army and the NBA Players Association. Spryte has a tremendous gift for working with, managing and empowering people to recognize their inner brilliance. As a Co-Founder and now President of HUB, she has a huge passion for making a difference both in America and in developing nations. She has organized the largest teacher training of its kind in Liberia, partnering with Youth Action International and StarShine Leadership Academy, and has overseen the support of over 20 humanitarian programs with HUB's Impact Partners for food, water, education, environmental sustainability and micro-finance. She has a keen ability to surround herself with the best-of-the-best and pull many pieces of the human puzzle together.

What are Social Enterprises?

Social enterprises are social mission driven organizations that apply market-based strategies to achieve a social purpose. The movement includes both non-profits that use business models to pursue their mission and for-profits whose primary purposes are social. Their aim is to accomplish targets that are social and/or environmental as well as financial - is often referred to as the triple bottom line. Many commercial businesses would consider themselves to have social objectives, but social enterprises are distinctive because their social or environmental purpose remains central to their operation.

Rather than maximizing shareholder value, the main aim of social enterprises is to generate profit to further their social and or environmental goals. This can be accomplished through a variety of ways and depends on the structure of the social enterprise. The profit from a business could be used to support a social aim, such as funding the programming of a non-profit organization. Moreover, a business could accomplish its social aim through its operation by employing individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds or lending to micro-businesses that have difficulty in securing investment from mainstream lenders.

Many non-profit organizations see social enterprise as a way to reduce their dependence on charitable donations and grants while others view the business itself as the vehicle for social change. Whether structured as nonprofits or for-profits, social enterprises are simply launched by social entrepreneurs who want to improve the common good and solve a social problem in a new, more lasting and effective way than traditional approaches. They are conceived and operated by visionary entrepreneurs who recognize potential where others may not see it and who apply discipline, pragmatism, courage and creativity to pursue their solution in spite of all obstacles, toward a world that is more abundant, secure and inclusive for all.
