About Eddie Mraz

Eddie is the Director of Business Expansion & Retention for the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, where he actively assists both new and mature companies grow and expand in Central Arkansas. Within his role on the economic development team, he provides strategic insight to early stage companies, budding entrepreneurs and established companies on paths to growth. Prior to serving on the economic development team, Eddie was a newly transplanted sales executive where he created and executed sales strategies for a national hospitality management company. Prior to moving to Little Rock, Eddie started and operated a district office in Memphis, TN for a high growth, global logistics company providing leadership and strategy execution to support the company’s $1 Billion growth plan. Upon graduation with a degree in Global Marketing and Supply Chain Logistics, Eddie started his career in Atlanta where he was recruited to manage an international logistics team supporting Fortune 500 accounts.

Eddie has experience in corporate America, but has the heart of an entrepreneur and a passion to solve problems. Since moving to Little Rock, Eddie has immersed himself in the entrepreneurial ecosystem where he has helped build a startup in a weekend called “Hampered” for those who hate laundry. He took a recycling startup “ReBrew” through the Winrock’s I-Fund accelerator, and most recently is working on a lean canvas for a consumer product in the bicycle industry.

With a lot of entrepreneurial activity in his schedule, he couldn’t do it all without the support of his newly married wife, Alyssa. Alyssa and Eddie reside in North Little Rock and both express a passion for serving their community. They serve as leaders within their Church, serve on several community and non profit boards and continuously support the animal community through adopting and fostering dogs from local shelters. When not volunteering and serving or working on launching a new company, Eddie and Alyssa love to enjoy Arkansas’ outdoors and tasty tacos.
