The panel was comprised of high caliber experts including Mario Garnero, Chairman of Brasilinvest, Persio Arida of BTG Pactual, Alan Taylor, Professor of Economics at the University of Virginia, and Richard Lapper. It was chaired by Paulo Sotero, Director of the Brazil Institute at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, DC.
