After 25 years as an on-air t.v. reporter, (for NY1 News in NY) I was finally ready to take that big step forward and start my own media and consulting business. New Genesis Pathfinder was recommended to me by a successful business associate in N.Y.Diana and her company proved to be the perfect professional mentors and guides to help me navigate this new career path and journey. Diana was incredibly knowledgeable on the many legal steps I needed to take (to create the business) and advised me every step of the way., even giving me all the right questions to ask my accountant.  And her insight and wisdom into the certification and eligibility requirements for Minority and Women businesses, MWBE's, was truly amazing......But what was most remarkable was the enormous number of wonderful and creative ideas she had as to how to utilize me background as a former reporter (author, teacher, public speaker) and skills for a number of city, state and federal agencies. Diana seems to know just about everyone in city government!  She’s taken my life on a most exciting, (and profitable) adventure and I'm honored to call her both a colleague and friend.

During the BGA Accelerator Incubator program, Diana and her team’s insights and immense knowledge were paramount in the completion of our business development growth plan and development business preparation strategies. We look forward to working further with New Genesis Pathfinder in the future as our business grows and we would encourage any and all young businesses to utilize the offerings of Diana in the navigation and planning of their enterprise.

“Diana and her team were extremely knowledgeable about the complicated MBE process for New York.  They constantly engaged us to follow-up and made sure the application continued to move forward and planned for any contingencies that could have arisen (many of which did).  Without Diana’s, and her team’s, help I am not sure we would have made it through the process, and if we did it would have been much longer and more stressful.  I would highly recommend Diana and her team to any company looking for assistance in obtaining MBE status.”

“Diana Benjamin and New Genesis Pathfinder were instrumental in helping to streamline my company’s successful application for NYC MWBE Certification.

‍

In addition to providing insightful feedback and practical guidance on how best to prepare and collate my application package, Diana was extremely helpful in my preparation for follow up calls with the certification auditor assigned to my application. Further, having Diana as a receptive and knowledgeable sounding board during the stressful waiting period after application submission, was invaluable.

‍

The depth and breadth of Diana’s network in helping to get phone calls returned was astounding. I enthusiastically recommend working with Diana and New Genesis Pathfinder on your MWBE Certification process. Becoming MBE certified has opened numerous doors for my organization, including business development opportunities with New York City agencies, new projects with private customers who work on projects with funding from New York City, as well as inbound solicitations from prime vendors and contractors looking to do business with qualified and certified MBEs.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service. One aspect that particularly stands out is the prompt and attentive response to my communications. Whether it is a phone call or an email, I have always received timely and helpful answers to my questions.

In today's fast-paced environment, effective communication is crucial, and New Genesis Pathfinder consistently excels in this area. Their willingness to be available and provide clarity whenever needed is a testament to their dedication to customer service.

Moreover, the quality of service offered has been consistently high, meeting and often exceeding my expectations. This reliability and commitment to excellence make New Genesis Pathfinder an asset.

I am grateful for the professional relationship we have developed and look forward to continuing this partnership. Thank you, New Genesis Pathfinder for your outstanding service and support. Your efforts are greatly valued and appreciated.”

When we began the process of applying for our MWBE Certifications we were told by numerous people that it would take years, at a minimum, which we did not have. This of course left us wondering what do we do? Is there any way to speed this process up? Enter Diana Benjamin!

‍

Diana's experience and expertise truly shows. Her knowledge of the application requirements and processes is very helpful when it comes to filling out the applications and navigating the approval process. She knew what was going to go on at every step before it happened, which in turn helped me to feel prepared and confident in my responses. What I first looked at as an intimidating feat, Diana simplified for me to where it felt like I had been doing this for years.

‍

We ran into a few roadblocks throughout the process, but Diana was able to use her vast web of connections to help us expedite our application, break through those roadblocks, and ultimately reach certification! I am so very grateful to have connected with Diana and had her in my corner throughout this process. Through our many talks I feel that I have not only gained a valuable business connection, but also a friend. Thank you so much for your help, Diana! It is much more appreciated than words can say.
