Brazil thanked the leadership of her firm, saying "The recognition today is a direct result of opportunities given to me by Richard Tomasetti and Charlie Thornton.

An allowance made by the government to merchants on the reexportation of certain imported goods liable to duties, which, in some cases, consists of the whole; in others, of a part of the duties which had been paid upon the importation. , being a woman has been a tremendous advantage to me. I am always remembered -- for good or for bad."

"That should be the final goal for all women in the industry and those who support our advancement," she said.
