Susan has been the President and CEO of Americas Society / Council of the Americas since August 2003, following a distinguished 30-year career in the private sector working with Latin America and other emerging markets. As a partner and head of the Latin American Group at Chase Capital Partners, Susan pioneered early-stage venture capital investing in Latin America.

She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. We talked about the importance of strong governance and financial prudence, dug into the key traits of highly successful Latin American founders, and got Susan's perspective on the future of tech entrepreneurship in the region. We also looked at why startups in Latin America are in a great position to ride the wave of AI advancements. In today's episode we discuss: 1. Strong governance matters: why should startups establish robust governance structures early on? 2. Build personal relationships: how can cultivating meaningful relationships with partners, investors, and teams impact your business success? 3. Traits of exceptional founders: What signature traits set apart highly successful founders in Latin America? 4. From Latam to the world: why the future of regional entrepreneurship is global? 5.
