Ernesto Zedillo is a global strategist and former President of Mexico, recognised for his expertise in globalization and emerging markets, particularly in Central and South America. He was born into modest circumstances and earned a doctorate in Economics from Yale. His presidency was marked by significant contributions to democratic reforms and a strong stance against political corruption. He played a key role in reducing income inequality and stabilising Mexico's economy through increased exports and responsible tax policies.
Currently, as the director of the Yale Center for the Study of Globalization, Ernesto provides insights into international trade, finance, political economy, and the effects of globalization. His experiences have given him a deep understanding of the dynamics between developed and developing nations, particularly regarding their integration into the global marketplace. This background allows him to offer valuable perspectives on the future interactions of Central and South America with global markets, policies, and politics.
Ernesto combines strategic thinking with practical action, enabling him to analyse democracy's strengths and weaknesses and the evolving role of the Americas in global affairs. His speeches and discussions address various topics, including the impact of globalization, the emergence of new markets, and economic leadership in the U.S. and the Americas. Through his work, Ernesto continues to shape the discourse on global economic strategies and the relationship between national policies and international relations.
