Arlene Guerrero Recognized as IBBA 2025 Outstanding Producer
Some recognition you chase. Some recognition finds you because the work speaks for itself.
We’re proud to share that Arlene Guerrero, Business Broker at Xcllusive Business Brokers USA in Hawaii, has been named a 2025 Outstanding Producer by the International Business Brokers Association (IBBA), the world’s largest professional association for business brokers and M&A advisors.
The award was presented at the 2026 IBBA Annual Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where brokers and M&A advisors from across the globe gathered. It marks Arlene’s second consecutive year of IBBA recognition, following her Chairman’s Circle Award the year prior. The IBBA has been the profession’s peak international body since 1984, and Outstanding Producer recognition isn’t a popularity vote. It’s awarded on the basis of verified business transactions completed during the previous calendar year. In other words, it reflects businesses actually sold and owners actually moved on to their next chapter.
Emily Bowler, Executive Director of the IBBA, congratulated this year’s award recipients: “The professionals recognized through the IBBA’s Member Excellence Awards program represent the highest standards of our profession. Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to helping business owners successfully transition their businesses have a lasting impact on entrepreneurs, employees, families, and communities.”
