In the first of a short series of articles as we look ahead to the Third Annual Investment International Latin America Forum – which takes place on Thursday 25 September in Zonamerica, Montevideo, Uruguay – and meet the speakers.

II caught up with Jorge Patalagoity, pictured above, CEO, International Consulting Group, to discuss the event in which ICG, an associate sponsor for the event, will take part in the main panel session at the conference, which is now sold out with only waiting list room available.

1: What will  be speaking about at this event?
JP: At the event, as part of the panel, we will discuss the industry in general and each individual's career trajectory. I will personally talk about my 38 years of experience in international business and will mention both my setbacks and the ways of working that led to success.
 
2. Why is ICG a good option for those looking to ptotect their savings and enhance their wealth in the cross-border advice world?
JP: ICG will always be a good option for advisors because, above all, it is a good option for the client. The sovereign is the client and their peace of mind for the future.
3. What makes ICG stand out from the competition?
JP: We differentiate by being able to provide a comprehensive portfolio that protects the client and their family from all angles. Each of our departments—life insurance, health insurance, travel insurance, savings and investment plans—specializes in offering increasing security in an holistic way.
 
4. What are ICG’s plans for rest of 2024 and into 2025 and beyond?
JP: At the end of this year, we will hold our third international convention, where we will gather advisors from across the Latam region. This is very rewarding for us, and we hope it will be equally rewarding for our work teams.
Our focus for the future is on team growth and the ongoing specialization of departments to continue improving our service in an increasingly demanding market. We are passionate about training advisors with a proactive spirit and attitude for the development of this wonderful activity.
