Arcato Global to Present Chilean Experience in "Building Bridges" Seminar
Duluth, GA, August 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Allan Metts, Arcato Global's founder and CEO, has been invited to speak as a panelist at an Atlanta seminar organized by the government of Chile. The event will feature prominent speakers, including the Ambassador of Chile to the US, Delta Airlines, and the Chilean Minister of Economy.
Allan will be describing his experience establishing operations in Chile for software development and IT services, while based in Georgia as a technology executive. This Chilean office grew to over 40 people while supporting multiple software releases and a nationwide product rollout in the US. Operating in Chile resulted in a 60% cost reduction, which was enhanced by attractive foreign investment incentives from the Chilean government. After this experience, Allan formed Arcato Global to help other companies enjoy these same benefits.
Appearing alongside Allan on the panel will be Carlos Alvarez, Executive Vice-President for the Chilean government's economic development organization, and Miguel Pérez, the president of Chile's IT trade association. The seminar takes place on Wednesday, August 20th at the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. For details, visit www.corfo.cl/chileanseminar.
