Pablo Urrego – Renault Sofasa
In 1980s Bogota, you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a Renault 4. An economy hatchback first produced in 1966, it remains one of the French automaker’s most iconic models. In Colombia, as in other places, it was everywhere—a symbol of upward mobility in a country where economic stability was rarely a given. So when […]
Paola Monzon-Cheng – Nitto Americas
So, who expected that in January 2020, buying milk or bread would mean being separated from a cashier by sheets of clear protective film? Or that pizza you ordered would be dropped off outside your door as you waved at the delivery driver? Not Paola Monzon-Cheng, though as head of legal for Nitto Americas, she […]
Paolo Scortichini – Maserati
Maserati makes cars that are fast, decadently luxurious—and now, electric. The Italian auto manufacturer made news in 2020 by announcing its vehicles will be all electrified within the next five years, following a global trend away from gasoline-powered cars. Steering that drive is CEO Davide Grasso, who served as chief marketing officer at Nike, then […]

Most, yes, but not all. And definitely not Patricia Kim. As general counsel for Swanson, one of the […]
Patricio Marquez Macias – Medtronic
Last year, when Black Lives Matter protests swept the United States, Americans weren’t the only ones called to action. In Mexico City, Patricio Marquez Macias watched protests play out in the news and across social media, particularly following the murder of George Floyd. The movement inspired him and his colleagues at Medtronic to create a […]
Patrick Doran – FHLBank Topeka
This is rural America at its best. Spread across four states from Denver to Kansas City, the green, rolling fields of farmland stretch to the foothills of the Rockies. Farm families have worked the land for generations, but they, along with their communities, have not been without funding and other support. As Patrick Doran explains, […]
Patrick McAlpine – Stephens Insurance LLC
Imagine you run a high-contact business, maybe a hotel, medical practice or a fitness club. It’s early March and business is strong as the end of winter is on the horizon. Then, without notice, you’re forced to shutter or slow your business. Like thousands of other businesses being impacted by COVID-19, it’s time you check […]
Patrick McCraney – Cardinal Ventures/Blake Management Group
Before COVID-19 hit the Deep South, residents at “The Blake” senior living communities could enjoy dinner in the upscale dining room and choose from its chef-prepared menu. No bland institutionalized food and tapioca pudding at 4 p.m. here. While the pandemic has temporarily changed protocols in these community dining spaces—which look more like fancy restaurants—the […]
