I had the opportunity to hear him speak at a conference in Cartagena, Colombia earlier this year and was thoroughly impressed by both his knowledge and his ability to shape a powerful discourse around key topics in the industry. His stellar reputation as a journalist and emerging thought leader is well-earned, and we are delighted that he accepted our invitation to participate at CanEx Jamaica 2019."
