From Oct 2013 but worth a read. Profile on Adriana Cisneros, CEO of one of the most powerful Latin American groups. Enjoyed the part about her education: Although she has an undergraduate degree from Columbia University and a graduate journalism degree from New York University, experts identified her leadership weak spots and customized a nine-month Harvard MBA program to bolster her skills in those areas. She also received one-on-one tutoring in finance from a Harvard professor. And how she keeps it real: In family businesses, the third generation is the one that ruins the business. I think there’s only a five percent survival rate. I want to be part of that five percent. Not only that, but I want to be able to hand over something to the fourth generation that is healthy, stable and strong.”
