"You can' have a choice if you don't have opportunities."
Are you interested in the 3 tasks governance should do? What do you think about service-based governments? How can we create good governance and governments?
Interview with Erick Brimen, CEO of Honduras Próspera and NeWay Capital. We talk about his vision for the future of cities, choices and options, the role of government, political, and many more. So, let’s start with a proper introduction.
Erick Brimen is the CEO of NeWay Capital, LLC, and Honduras Próspera Inc., dedicated to fostering human flourishing through strategic investments. As a seasoned finance expert and entrepreneur, Erick has raised nearly $110 million for Honduras Próspera Inc., driving the development of the Próspera ZEDE free zone in Honduras. His goal is to tackle poverty by delivering free-market governance as a service. Beginning his career in private and investment banking, Erick has advised on over $1.2 billion in transactions at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. and AG Edwards & Sons. He later joined Ernst & Young in London, consulting on acquisitions for private equity clients, before becoming CFO of Latin American operations for Borealis Group. Erick then founded ComparaMejor.com, Colombia’s leading online insurance brokerage, and established NeWay Capital, which partners with countries globally to create free zones. Originally from Venezuela, Erick now resides in the U.S. with his wife and three children.
