CNO - Chief Networking Officer

TEN - Top Executives Net (www.topexecutivesnet.com)

TEN is the first online business community to accelerate business between Latin America and overseas. It´s available in Portuguese/English. Spanish will come soon.

Our target market is composed of top executives so called “Made-in-Latin America” and of foreign executives. We define “Made in Latin America” as professionals with international ambition, qualification and skills to compete and offer their products and services abroad.

The foreign professional are those who have firm interest in representing Latin American products and/or services in their respective countries, set up strategic alliances and/or joint-ventures with Latin American companies, invest in projects in Latin America and/or with Latin American partners, recruit Latin American workforce for their global ventures and, even, look for representatives for their products and/or services in Latin America.
