CHARLOTTE, NC, July 09, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Yessica Sierra has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who, recognizing her outstanding contributions to executive financial leadership, organizational strategy, and business transformation. Selection into Marquis Who's Who is based on professional achievements, leadership, and significant contributions within one's field.

Over the course of a distinguished career, including 18 years in executive leadership, Dr. Sierra has established herself as a trusted advisor in financial strategy, operational excellence, governance, and organizational transformation. Throughout her career, she has successfully led complex financial operations, strengthened internal controls, guided organizations through periods of rapid growth, and built scalable financial infrastructures that support long-term sustainability.

Dr. Sierra currently serves as Chief Financial Officer for Moments of Hope Church and its nonprofit organization, City of Hope, where she provides executive leadership over financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, treasury management, internal controls, board reporting, and long-term organizational planning. Throughout her career as a Chief Financial Officer, she has led financial operations, audit readiness, grant management, regulatory reporting, organizational restructuring, and strategic growth initiatives. Her leadership has strengthened financial governance, improved operational efficiency, and positioned organizations for long-term success.

Earlier in her career, while serving a multinational organization in Honduras, Dr. Sierra accepted the challenge of establishing and leading an in-house logistics company at only 24 years old despite having no previous experience in logistics. She built the operation from the ground up, overseeing its legal formation, operational infrastructure, and long-term strategic development. Under her leadership, the logistics company grew by more than 80 percent over nine years, becoming a key component of the organization's supply chain operations.

Building upon her extensive executive experience, Dr. Sierra founded Genesis 26 LLC, an executive advisory firm that provides strategic, operational, and financial leadership to nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

The firm reflects her passion for helping organizations transform complexity into clarity while building strong foundations for long-term success.

Dr. Sierra's commitment to lifelong learning has been a defining characteristic of her career. After establishing a successful executive career internationally, she continued expanding her expertise in the United States through advanced education and executive development. She recently earned a Doctor of Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and completed Stanford University's Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) Business Scaling Program, designed to help high-growth business leaders scale and strengthen their organizations. Her academic credentials further include a Graduate Certificate in Business Data Science and Analytics from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, an Associate Degree in Accounting and Finance from Central Piedmont Community College, two Master of Business Administration degrees—one from Queens University of Charlotte and another from Universidad Católica de Honduras—and a bachelor's degree in Finance.

Her leadership has been recognized through numerous professional distinctions, including being named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Charlotte (2025), one of the Top Women Chief Financial Officers of 2026, one of Charlotte's Visionary Women, and Most Dedicated Bilingual and Multicultural Nonprofit Chief Financial Officer. Collectively, these honors reflect a career defined by strategic leadership, operational excellence, and an unwavering commitment to helping organizations achieve sustainable growth and lasting impact.

As she continues expanding her executive leadership, Dr. Sierra remains committed to helping organizations build strong financial foundations, develop high-performing leadership teams, and implement strategies that create long-term value.
