Dr. Gil’s professional career has combined academia with government service and a brief stint in the private sector as CEO of AVANTEL, a telecommunications firm. He is a member of the Governing Board of Universidad Iberoamericana, of the Board of Visitors of the Anderson School of Business at UCLA, and of the Board of Directors of CIDAC, a Mexican Think Tank.
