"In Argentina there are a great number of organizations dedicated to community support. I think NESsT is an organization that differs from many of them for their professionalism and because through their process ensures that my contribution, whether the contribution of my professional experience, and financial support, have an effective, positive and sustainable social impact.

negotiating and executing the first LBO in Latin America, (vi)
divesting companies, including sales to strategic buyers, closing
