In 1985, she was hired as one of the administration/operations personnel for International Manufacturing Equipment Company (IMECO).  IMECO was a small international exporter and trader of construction, mining equipment and parts, and Ms. Quinteros assisted the sales and shipping department. In 1988, IMECO merged with another small company, Hofortech Corporation, an exporter and trader for mining equipment which owned a parts cross-reference system which made the research resourcing comprehensive.  This system made Ms. Quinteros an expert in managing and supplying spare parts.

In 1989, the owners of IMECO and Hofortech Corporation sold their shares to TORNO America, which later changed the name of the company to IHC Services.  The new corporate structure brought Ms. Quinteros new opportunities to advance.  She was given 90% of the South American accounts for spare parts and 20% of accounts from Europe and Asia.  Ms. Quinteros worked for IHC Services until July 1994, at which time IHC moved most of its operations to North Carolina, leaving only small offices in the New York area and in Hauppauge, New Jersey.

Ms. Quinteros loved the work. It appealed to her interest in movies and television, and she found it interesting to see how the production was done.
 
In April 1997, she started working for a U.S.-Japanese trading company.  She focuses primarily on importing resin (a component used to produce chewing gum). In April 1998 she left the trading company for another importer/exporter for chemicals.
 
In August 1998, she rejoined IHC Services Inc., under the direction of then-CEO Ezio Testa.  During the 1997-98 period, the company had obtained 
many new manufacturing, distribution and other agreements.  She was hired to assist the Vice-President of Sales & Marketing.  Later that year she became the parts manager.
