Hilda Mera – From working mom to Auto Industry Trailblazer. In this episode of Future Tide Conversations, we sit down with Hilda Mera, Co-Founder and CEO of S&A Auto Center. Hilda shares her incredible journey into entrepreneurship in Newark, where she’s built a thriving auto-repair business in an industry where women rarely lead (only ~5% of auto repair leadership roles are held by women!). We explore how Hilda overcame early doubts and challenges to open two successful shops, all while championing immigrant entrepreneurship, women’s empowerment, and even mental health awareness in her community. Join us for an inspiring conversation about dignity, ownership, and community-centered leadership, and hear how Hilda is helping drive an inclusive future in business. Tune in now to hear her story and insights on transforming adversity into opportunity.
