Americas

Monitor works across all parts of North, South, and Central America. In addition to our extensive corporate work, we have served a variety of national and regional governments on the subject of national competitiveness and economic growth. The combination of corporate and government work across the region equips us well to serve a wide range of needs in all geographic areas.

We have also developed insights into issues that affect corporate strategies and government policy agendas such as the future of health care, the impact of demographic and migration trends, the role of offshoring and policies to ease the associated transitions, and the drivers of productivity growth in different regions.

In fast-growing Brazil specifically, we have a specialized country-focused corporate finance and investment arm, Angra Partners, that provides corporate finance advisory and interim management capabilities to financial and strategic investors and their portfolio companies, and manages a private equity portfolio for the country's largest public pension funds
