Meet the Team
Our award-winning team cultivates our strong culture and works to help local businesses succeed.
Tiffany Esposito
President & CEO
Tiffany Esposito, MBA, CCE, IOM, APR and President & CEO of SWFL Inc. promises she is done earning letter designations to add after her name. A 12-year veteran of the Chamber industry, SWFL native and strong believer in Taco Tuesdays, Tiffany actively participates in national and regional conversations to improve the quality of life for businesses and their teams.
Dawn Brewer
Director of Operations
Dawn Brewer is our Director of Operations. She loves Sour Patch Kids, which is ironic because she’s the sweetest person we know. This Leadership SWFL alumna and Naples native is the first to roll up her sleeves when something needs fixing, including jump-starting cars in our parking lot.
Charles Stanisce
Technology & Content Manager
Charles is a graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University. He is our Technology & Content Manager, and the architect of the SWFL Inc. membership model. Charles retired from the hockey biz to be our tech whiz, and is the proud dog dad to the French Bulldog Reese’s, often seen in our building on Fridays.
Sara Freck
Events & Marketing Coordinator
Sara graduated from Bradley University in Peoria, IL. She got tired of the cold snowy winters and moved down to sunny Florida where she was an Event Concierge at the JW Marriott Marco Island for 2 ½ years. Her favorite past times are trivia nights at the local breweries and petting as many dogs as possible!
Hannah Phillips
Events & Marketing Manager
Hannah Phillips is our Events and Marketing Manager. Determined to live on the coast of Florida, she trekked down from North Carolina in 2021. Hannah has previously worked as the Event Manager at the Durham Convention Center, and she can turn any conversation into a conversation about Disney.
Josh Goergen
Government Relations Manager
Josh previously worked as a legislative assistant for State Senator Lizbeth Benacquisto and State Senator Ray Rodrigues. If he is not working or studying for his MBA program, he is probably out fishing. Josh is a 5th generation Floridian and spends much of his time enjoying natural Florida.
Jessica Hoover
Director of Business Development
Jessica previously worked for Target as an Executive Team Leader. She is an animal lover and will ask to pet any dog she meets! She has two Boxers named Monte and Carla and when she isn’t chasing after them, she is attempting any DIY project she can find for her home.
Jenny Parrish
Communications & Marketing Coordinator
Jenny's background in marketing and advertising brings a unique twist to SWFL Inc. A proud Florida Gulf Coast University Alumni, Level 1 CrossFit trainer and Jersey girl at heart, Jenny loves spending as much time in the sunshine as possible either at the beach, kayaking or doing something active outdoors – ideally with a margarita in hand!
Joseph Pate
Business Development Manager
Joseph has always been passionate about local business and an avid supporter of his community, which is what led him to SWFL Inc. after a successful career in retail. When he’s not at work, you can find him spending time with his family or taking in a game of golf and working hard to keep it in the fairway!
