In this episode, I talk with Marta Viegas, the head of the corporate governance practice at IDB Invest, the Inter-American Development Bank’s private sector arm. IDB Invest has around $14 billion under management and over 350 clients across 26 countries of the Latin American and Caribbean Region. Marta is responsible for the oversight of corporate governance risk in relation to IDB Invest operations, working closely with companies, financial institutions, institutional investors, governments and other key governance stakeholders. Prior to joining IDB Invest, Marta was a partner at the Brazilian firm TozziniFreire and also worked as an associate at New York firm Weil Gotshal & Manges. Marta served in the board of the IBGC - Brazilian Institute of Corporate Governance, a think tank, and was a leading voice in the creation of the Brazilian Corporate Governance Code, adopted as regulation under the “comply or explain” methodology by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission. Marta also served in the audit committee and in the fiscal council of Brasilprev, one of the largest Brazilian private pension companies with US$ 60 billion of assets under management.
