Ted Helms will lead a discussion on “What’s Next for Venezuela?”. As most of you know, Ted has deep experience in and with Venezuela, beginning with a 3+ year stint as head tennis pro at the Caracas Country Club, followed later by time in Latin American Banking at Manufacturers Hanover Trust including a post in Venezuela, and finally 8 years as the NY-based financial representative of Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA). Ted has done a deep dive on our behalf and this promises to be a fascinating hour about a very timely subject.
