Kristina Park, 38

Of all the things Kristina Park learned from her dad, John Alspaw — and there were a lot — one that has particularly helped shape her career is work ethic. “He would always say if you don’t have a full-time job, your full-time job is getting a full-time job,” Park says. 

Park has taken that guidance to help make her mark in a career in tourism marketing and chambers of commerce. Her most recent post: She was named president and CEO of the Greater Naples Chamber late last year, assuming the position in January.
