TagIt is dangerous — watch your favorite show, open the app, see the thing you want on that show, the app helps you buy the thing. Bermudez’s deceptively simple concept hides tons of hard work and struggle. As a woman CEO with a finance background, Ana used to get confused as her former partner’s secretary. No more: thanks to the success of her killer concept, and backed by heavy hitters like the US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Bermudez is an undeniable lady boss.
