Hola / Hello
Armando Salgado’s life as an entrepreneur and community service advocate began with the
recognition of the point where the Spanish-speaking and English-speaking communities
intersected and the need for Latino leadership was missing. He launched LingoDocs Marketing
(lingodocs.com) in 2006 to bridge both business communities, giving them the opportunity to
double their markets. Through LingoDocs Marketing, Armando provides a variety of traditional
marketing services such as publishing the only bilingual (English/Spanish) magazine in Omaha
(vidasocialomaha.com), printing, signage, custom apparel, web development, graphic design,
social media, translation services, virtual services, and more. Armando lends a unique twist of
specializations to helping clients grow their business by overcoming the language, cultural, and
business barriers, both in English and in Spanish. Armando is also the founder of USMEX
Express (usmexexpress.com), which provides domestic and international shipping services.
Armando has over 20 years of experience in the Real Estate business, owning and managing
Zianya Properties LLC, owns a construction business, MultiLevel Contractors, LLC
(multilevelcontractors.com) and co-founded Build Más (buildmas.pro) a software that assists
Hispanic Contractors to be more profitable in their projects through professional estimates.
Armando earned a double major in International Studies and Spanish from the University of
Nebraska at Omaha. During and after his graduation from UNO, Armando worked a little over 10 years in the Non-Profit sector in creating programs for all ages, infrastructure creation, and fundraising. Armando is also an adjunct instructor at Metropolitan Community College in Omaha, teaching business and construction to small business owners in both English and Spanish, providing topics that assist the participants in starting, managing and sustaining their business. Over 280 Latino owned companies have formed with Armando’s help in the past 8 years. Armando’s involvement in the Hispanic Business Contractor sector paved the way for the creation of the only Hispanic contractor association, called United Hispanic Contractors Association (unitedhispaniccontractors.com), with 100+ members. Armando also co-founded the Latino Economic Development Council, a non-profit organization in Omaha whose main mission is to develop the Latino community economically.
Armando furthers his mission of breaking down barriers and promoting business, language and cultural awareness and doing community service through various community organization and has held several board positions, including Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, OneWorld Community Health Center, Heartland Workforce Solutions, College of Saint Mary, Futuro Latino Fund, Business Ethics Alliance Trustee, Criminal Justice Advisory, Latino Economic Development Council, and Cinco de Mayo Festival, among others. Armando was born in Mexico, together with his mother and father, migrated to the U.S. at the age of 6 and like many Latino families, they worked and contributed to the U.S. society to earn their piece of the American dream.
Armando is married to his wonderful and supportive wife and Realtor, Yamy Salgado, (from the Dominican Republic via New York City) and has 2 beautiful children, Zianya (18) and Zuriel (12).
