Another successful and well-attended LATCAM Youth Committee LYC event! Many thanks to my colleague Daniel Otero for the overall organization and the team of Wealth Inequality Initiative by Julius Baer Foundation - especially Nathalie Jean-Baptiste and Susan Hermann-Soraluz - for the hospitality and the powerful presentation! Wealth inequality (like corruption) concerns each one of us as it destroys the fabric of modern society. Julius Baer Foundation supports and promotes socially responsible entrepreneurship and empowers the young and underprivileged enabling them to thrive and realize their dreams. Impressive!
