There are moments when a network stops being a list of names and becomes a space where things truly happen. The recent gathering of the GCL alumni in Barcelona was exactly that moment: the point at which an international group of leaders from 33 countries stopped talking about the future and began to design it.
Organized by the GCL Alumni Network, the meeting once again demonstrated why this program—created in 2007 by the Latin America Leadership Program (LALP) at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business (MSB)—continues to be a benchmark for regional leadership.

Congratulations to alumni Ignacio Bugueño (GCL 2022, Chile), Lorena Ríos (GCL 2022, Paraguay), and Jaime Aguilera (GCL 2025, Venezuela) on being selected to participate in the World Economic Forum's Future 50 initiative.
