With extensive experience in international trade & investment, Carolina Arriagada Peters spent eight years with London & Partners, widely recognised as one of the world’s best promotional organisations. She designed ambitious Foreign Direct Investment plans attracting high quality companies into London from Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, delivering thousands of jobs for the British capital. Her achievements ranged from developing value propositions for new and existing investors to managing complex pipelines from over 80 countries, and working with a wide range of stakeholders to join forces and raise London’s reputation.

A systemic thinker with extensive knowledge of how ecosystems and clusters function, she developed innovative services for new and existing investors, and spearheaded first-in-class international collaboration with other global hubs including xxx, carefully balancing the opportunities and constraints of working with public-private entities.

Carolina established Cities & Collaboration in 2015 to bring this experience in international business, government relations and eco-system affairs to a wider audience. The boutique consultancy fosters a flourishing community of professionals pursuing international growth. It delivers practice-oriented and action-driven programmes, working with both ambitious companies who are ready to conquer new markets and global locations keen to increase their competitiveness, attractiveness and collaboration opportunities. By facilitating this coming together of public and private sectors, Cites & Collaboration turns cities into platforms where people, ideas and resources convene, collaborate & connect.
