CEOs Without Borders is a global non-profit enterprise that brings together businessmen and businesswomen willing to use their leadership positions, know-how and experience to foster the growth of businesses in developing countries.

CEOs Without Borders, enacted in 2006 in New York and Barcelona is exclusively financed by the contributions of private organizations and individuals.

Our Vision:

• Private sector development has proven to be the most efficient and effective mechanism to promote economic growth and alleviate poverty by creating jobs and contributing to increase income levels of the poor.  

• The global business community can, and should, play a leading role in promoting private sector growth in developing countries.

• The best approaches to the cause of development and poverty alleviation are those that rely upon market mechanisms and private sector incentives, which lead themselves to replicability and scalability.
