DeLisa Guerrier bio:
The Guerrier Development journey started with Elde Guerrier’s journey from humble beginnings in Haiti to him becoming the founder of a company with over $500M in projects at various stages of development in middle Tennessee. It was a serendipitous encounter with DeLisa when met her now husband Elde, which set a course for the great success in their future.
Originally on a path to become a physician, DeLisa relocated from California to Nashville. There, she discovered a different calling—marrying Elde, obtaining her real estate license, and partnering with him to aid Nashville’s residents facing foreclosure or short sales in the post-recession real estate market. This union of talents gave rise to a formidable force in the real estate industry, culminating in the establishment of Guerrier Development.
DeLisa’s distinction as one of the few women in the state licensed as a general contractor for commercial, residential, and industrial construction earned her recognition, including being the youngest woman by 30 years to be inducted into the Enterprising Women Hall of Fame. Her unique position in a male-dominated field, especially as part of a husband-wife team, sets her apart.
In addition to their remarkable achievements, DeLisa is a founding member of the Black Owner and Women’s Collective (BOW), an organization dedicated to helping black women entrepreneurs secure capital and contracts for growth. She is also affiliated with the Women Business Collaborative (WBC) and Women Presidents Organization (WPO).
