The Council on Emerging Markets – Latin America serves executives from global companies who are responsible for their company’s strategy or operations in the critical region Latin America. Participation is reserved for the senior-most executive responsible for the region, and his or her direct reports.

Latin America is seeing a sustained period of economic growth, benefiting from macro-economic stability, contained inflation, and the commodities boom. This is creating new market opportunities across the region. But tapping this market potential will require executives to effectively penetrate new consumer market segments with limited spending power, deal with new local and global competitors, and manage the risks of leftward populism.
