Vivian P. Quiroga, Esq. is an accomplished corporate attorney and CEO of Jimmy Quiroga ® Designs. Although these may seem like unrelated endeavors, Vivian has one overriding mission: to give back to the community that has given her so much. As a young attorney, Vivian excelled as corporate counsel and later Senior Counsel and Senior Vice President at corporate, banking and legal firm giants. Among them are Citibank, Great Western Bank, Vitas Healthcare and Greenberg, Traurig. She married her college sweetheart, Jimmy Quiroga, a third generation fine jewelry designer, manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer.
After having their 2 sons, Vivian continued to practice law by convincing her clients that she could work from home, which, 30 years ago, was unheard of. She still advises those lifelong clients on investments in hard assets like gold, diamonds and precious jewels. Once their sons were in school, Vivian accepted the challenge of joining her husband as CEO of the family fine jewelry business and helped expand it into the bespoke couture market as well as to big box department stores. However, Vivian's joy comes from their focus on philanthropy. She quickly built on their priority of giving back, and she and Jimmy became prominent fixtures in numerous foundations and charities, serving as jewelry sponsors and often donating 50% of sales.
Vivian has been honored as a “Hometown Hero” by the National Association of Fundraising Professionals for supporting Miami’s non-profits in their time of greatest need during Covid-19. She has also received the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden’s Philanthropy Award, the Miami Women Who Rock Rock Star Award, The Pink Luminous Breast Hero Award and the Miami Heart Research Philanthropy Award. Her husband Jimmy was honored as one of the "12 Good Men" for his unwavering support of local and national charities. They are both thrilled that their youngest son, Kevin graduated from the FIU Honors College and is now a law student at FIU Law.
