About Michael C. Camuñez

As the President and CEO of Monarch Global Strategies, a binational strategic consulting firm, I leverage my extensive experience as a senior executive, independent director, and legal and policy advocate to advise companies in domestic and global markets. With 30 years of combined service in the private and public sectors, including at the White House, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the U.S. Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, I have an intimate knowledge of the workings of the U.S. government, strong relationships with a range of economic policy makers around the globe, and a unique combination of political, legal, corporate governance, and international expertise.I am passionate about enhancing cross-border trade and investment, especially in North America, where I have played a critical role in advancing U.S. trade, investment and economic policy toward Mexico and creating the acclaimed U.S-Mexico High Level Economic Dialogue. I speak frequently in the press and to corporate gatherings on the issue of U.S-Mexico relations, NAFTA/USMCA, and trade policy generally. I am fluent in Spanish and hold a J.D. from Stanford Law School and an A.B. in Government from Harvard University.I am also committed to supporting innovation, sustainability, and social impact, as evidenced by my board roles at public and private companies such as Edison International (NYSE: EIX), Southern California Edison, Capital Group\'s American Funds, and Amplify, Inc. as well as the David & Lucile Packard Foundation and Stanford University. In 2022, Bloomberg\'s editorial team named me one of the 100 most influential Latinos in the world.
