Stanhope Capital, the global investment firm, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mexico’s former Finance Minister, and renowned Mexican economist Dr Pedro Aspe, to its Advisory Board with immediate effect.  He will sit alongside other industry and finance doyens including Lord Browne, the former BP Chief Executive and Sir Martin Sorrell, Chief Executive of WPP. A major public figure, Dr Aspe will be instrumental in Stanhope Capital’s continued expansion of its client base in Latin America.

Joining Stanhope Capital’s Advisory Board is the latest step in Dr Aspe’s long and illustrious career which spans four decades in the areas of academia, Federal Government, and domestic and international private sectors.

Dr Aspe was Secretary of the Treasury in Mexico between 1988 and 1994.

Upon leaving government in 1994, he proceeded to found Protego, one of the first Mexican investment banks in 1996.  Protego joined forces with Evercore Partners, a leading US investment bank in 2006, and the combined business successfully listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the same year.  Dr. Aspe held the position of Co-Chairman of Evercore Partners from 2006 until his retirement in February 2017.
