How can we help developing countries to build the trade capacity and infrastructure they need to benefit from trade liberalization? And how can we ensure economic empowerment and development for SME’s and women?
This week we feature Arancha González, Chief Executive Director of the International Trade Center (ITC), the joint agency of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Previously, from 2005 to 2013, Ms. González served as Chief of Staff to WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy. During her tenure at the WTO, she played an active role in launching the WTO’s ‘Aid for Trade’ initiative and served as Mr. Lamy’s representative at the G-20.
Ms. González has extensive knowledge about international trade and economics, coupled with broad experience in trade and development matters in the public and private sectors, as well as in management at multilateral organizations.
