Meet the Founder

Driven by purpose. Built on legacy.

With over three decades of entrepreneurial experience and a legacy rooted in perseverance, Anena Marchand founded The Crown Drive Co. to do more than provide luxury transportation—she created it to uplift, serve, and empower.

Anena is a proud woman, mother, refugee, and survivor. After escaping a war-torn homeland as a child and resettling in the U.S., she learned early on that success is earned through resilience, faith, and hard work. From launching and running a successful demolition and hauling company for nearly 30 years to rebuilding after losing it during the COVID-19 pandemic, Anena has lived the journey of reinvention.

The Crown Drive Co. is not just a car service—it’s a statement. A statement that women, immigrants, and everyday people can rise above circumstances and create excellence. With a deep commitment to safety, reliability, and professionalism, Anena has set a new standard for black car services in Southern California, especially for women, families, business travelers, and seniors seeking a premium, trustworthy experience.

She founded this company to fill a gap she saw in the industry: the need for luxury transportation that doesn’t just look good on the outside—but is rooted in care, dignity, and human connection.

Whether you’re heading to the airport, an executive meeting, or a special occasion, Anena wants every ride with The Crown Drive Co. to feel like you’re not just a client—but royalty.

“We’re not just driving cars—we’re driving dreams forward. Every mile reflects the sacrifices made, the trust earned, and the crown each of us deserves to wear.”
