Season 1 Episode 4 – Amb. Roberto Zapata. The one where we talk to the Ambassador of Mexico to the World Trade Organization, Roberto Zapata Barradas. In this episode, we have a great conversation with Amb. Zapata about growing up in Mexico and attending a bilingual school which set the preamble for a career in International Trade Policy. Amb. Zapata tells us about how growing up in a Mexico open for International business shaped his career and eventually led him to his position representing Mexico at the WTO. We also hear a bit about his views on some of the challenges we are currently facing at the WTO. Listen in!
