Marni Smith, CEO of Portero Concierge was presented with an Emerging Woman Owned Business Award at the 2016 Woman of Influence Awards.

The Women of Influence Awards recognize women who lead the way in business, industry, and enterprise, along with the organizations and individuals that champion women leaders.
“I’m ecstatic to be recognized amongst so many talented women,” stated Marni Smith, CEO of Portero Concierge, “it’s a real privilege and honor just to be mentioned in the same sentence.”
Portero Concierge has five specialized business units—Onsite, Corporate, Personal, VIP, and Events Concierge. All of their attentive services are custom-tailored to each client’s needs and flawlessly executed with a touch of class. No task is too daunting and no request is too outlandish. From honey-to-do lists to chartering a private jet to the Caribbean—Portero Concierge can make it happen.
Marni Smith has built a career on helping people. The first fifteen years she spent placing hundreds of c-level finance and accounting professionals with Factor Ten Executive Search. Mrs. Smith aligned some of Southern California’s biggest companies with top-tier talent. Armed and fully understanding how to achieve clients’ needs and wants, Marni transitioned into leading business development for eMerchant, then onto VP of Business Development for AG Adjustments. Through her boardroom meetings and candidate interviews, Marni found a new niche market that had been previously untapped in Orange County—lifestyle management. Voila! Portero Concierge was born.
