Botsford Global says it has been appointed senior advisor for LatAm and the Caribbean to the Korean government. Washington DC-based start-up Botsford will help source projects for Korean corporations throughout the region, including greenfield mining ventures, company founder Mark Botsford tells LatinFinance. Korean companies are expected to team up with US entities to invest in LatAm. Botsford is also in talks with the Singapore government for a similar arrangement to provide strategic LatAm advice. It expects to have a decision on that by the end of November. Botsford Global was set up in July. Botsford previously managed family investments locally and internationally, including defaulted Argentine bonds. Before that, he was senior advisor at Adalbert Krieger Vasena & Associates and has advised international companies including Phillip Morris and Exxon on their business in Argentina.
