This is Douglas – Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month

We celebrate Marietta D. Murton this Hispanic Heritage Month as a trailblazer in the community, a champion for Latino entrepreneurs, and a beacon of leadership. As a Commercial Loan Officer for Access to Capital for Entrepreneurs (ACE), Marietta helps break down the financial, cultural, and socio-economic barriers that many Latino-owned businesses face. With nearly two decades of combined experience in the banking industry and non-profit organizations, her expertise has transformed the local business landscape. She’s not just providing capital; she’s empowering entrepreneurs to reach their full potential and achieve sustainable growth.

Originally from Peru, Marietta’s journey to leadership began in Douglas with her career at Bank of America, followed by key roles at Regions Bank and the U.S. Census Bureau, where she contributed to the Hispanic Initiative. Her dedication to community and economic growth has led her to leadership positions with Latino non-profits such as the Association of Latino Professionals for America (ALPFA). Today, Marietta’s influence spans multiple spheres, from business to community advocacy.
