Steve Noriega, Founder and CEO of Epic Brand, has officially become a member of the Forbes Business Council, a selective, invite-only network for leading entrepreneurs and senior executives. This honor underscores Noriega’s achievements and ranks him among the world’s most influential business leaders.

Membership in this distinguished council is reserved for individuals with a track record of excellence in their industries. Noriega’s acceptance reflects his leadership in branding and marketing, as well as his commitment to driving meaningful impact.

As a Council member, Noriega gains access to exclusive networking and learning opportunities, the ability to publish thought leadership on Forbes.com, and invitations to expert panels alongside prominent business figures.

Noriega shared his enthusiasm about the new role:
