I have thought of several proposals to boost the business’ growth, new offers and how we can work in a more collaborative manner between countries” he explained. The Executive additionally said that “Latin America represents something like 8% of the global PIB, but in creativity and innovation, we contribute 20%. It is not the same in Europe, and that’s something I would like work on.”He added that one of the interesting things that result from working in several regions is to notice that currently, its not just Latino talent working Europe “now Europeans also go work in Latin America. In Grey we have a program called Go, that is used for exchanging talent with very good results.”Finally, he added: “We live in a world of changes and I am taking this as a huge professional and personal growth opportunity.”
