"We can’t miss the train of the technological revolution. The COVID-19 crisis has only accelerated the need to do much, much more in this space."

What was one of the biggest lessons learned for @MorenoBID in his 15 years at the helm of the IDB?

"When you do big changes in organizations, you can never forget the people aspect."

#BRAVObiz

"[The Western Hemisphere] requires far more gender diversity in general, and that the [IDB] not only looks a lot like the hemisphere, but that we are able to put forward an agenda that understands that gender diversity is a central part of modern society."

— @MorenoBID #BRAVObiz

"We’re looking forward to eventually going back to a world that will be different forever, but one that has accelerated the deployment of technology in emerging markets like Latin America."

— @marceloclaure on a post-pandemic hemisphere

The only thing Latin American entrepreneurs traditionally have lacked is access to capital, says @marceloclaure. As such, they've learned to run more responsible businesses that are always concerned with profitable growth.

Some SoftBank Group Intl ecommerce investments are up 200–400% YOY. Why so profitable?

People don't realize how high internet reach is in Latin America, says @marceloclaure.

LatAm has the same # of smartphone users (250M) as US, and comparable internet users to China. #BRAVObiz

There might not be a magic formula to a good/successful COVID-19 government response, says @MorenoBID, but there is one critical element:

Discipline at the federal, state, and local levels.

.@MorenoBID on what makes a good leader:

The single most important thing is the people you’re able to assemble, the ability to give people direction, and to equally empower them. I don’t think any leader is successful without a good team.

#BRAVObiz

The world is entering a very unpredictable phase that can go in many different directions.

The amount of change that we’re going to see, the amount of trial and error, the capacity to adapt are all going to be the critical things going forward.

— @MorenoBID in #BRAVObiz

.@marceloclaure on the economies of tomorrow:

In my personal opinion, retail is dead. Retail will never recover. … We have a responsibility to change our focus and make sure we put our energy into educating our people on what the new jobs will be.

#BRAVObiz

And that wraps up today's #BRAVObiz Leadership Conversation!
