Marcos, a Co-Founder and the driving force behind Paramount Pursuits, brings a deeply personal mission to his work: to make entrepreneurship more accessible. As a New American who immigrated from Argentina, he has firsthand experience with overcoming systemic and cultural barriers.
He began his entrepreneurial career in 2010, launching a wine distributorship with Trish to promote premium wines from family-owned vineyards around the world. His passion for community revitalization extends beyond business — when working as the Municipality Liaison for Beaver County’s Main Street Revitalization, he fostered collaboration between local leaders and entrepreneurs. Between 2014 and 2016, he led the acquisition of nine properties for Paramount Enterprises, contributing to meaningful economic development in his community.
Off the clock, Marcos draws energy from travel, wine, cigars, and spending time on the water — but his greatest motivation is his family, who inspire his vision every day.
Marcos Digliodo, Co-Founder & CEO
Trish is the heart and strategic mind of Paramount Pursuits. With 25 years of experience in project management, sales, marketing, and client relations, she has supported a wide array of businesses—from local restaurants to international firms.
After returning to Pennsylvania in 2014, she founded the Paramount Pursuits business incubator to expand her impact beyond her local community and help more entrepreneurs flourish. She supports small business owners through every stage of their journey: from business planning and marketing strategy to MBE/WBE certification and long-term mentorship.
In addition, Trish oversaw the Beaver County Main Street Revitalization project. Working with her husband Marcos and local stakeholder groups, she helps build revitalization structures and action plans to bring Main Streets back to economic and cultural life.

Jeff brings decades of leadership and entrepreneurial experience to Paramount Pursuits. He holds a degree in Executive Management from the University of Pittsburgh. Over 35 years, he ran his family’s fastener distribution business — growing it steadily, adopting a continuous improvement model, and nurturing a strong culture of growth.
Jeff also has experience raising capital and scaling technology ventures: he helped launch a network security company via venture funding and built an engineering and sales team. Additionally, he has transformed operations through automation at a windshield wiper distribution enterprise.
His leadership philosophy is grounded in the belief that anyone can achieve their goals — inspired by his mother, who encouraged him early in life to pursue his potential. Outside work, Jeff enjoys golfing, fishing, and tending his yard. He’s deeply rooted in his integrity, family, and close friends.
