As President & CEO, Norman F. Anderson focuses on infrastructure project creation, aimed at increasing the level of infrastructure investment, and the performance of existing infrastructure stocks, in developed and developing countries alike. He has overseen the development and execution of CG/LA’s proprietary analytic models, including: The Global and Latin American Annual Infrastructure Capacity Rankings; The “Eight Criteria for Assessing a Country’s Infrastructure Capacity,” and CG/LA’s 5 year and 20 year infrastructure demand models.

He recently completed a White Paper for the World Economic Forum on infrastructure in Latin America, and was subsequently asked to edit the companion series of papers on the U.S., China, India, Africa and Asia.  In July 2008 he published “Outlook for Infrastructure” in The Future of North America 2025; Outlook & Recommendations,” a CSIS publication financed by the Canadian, Mexican and US Executive branches. That work posited a potential North American infrastructure market rising from a current market size of less than $200 billion per year to a level of nearly $450 billion. Mr. Anderson also originated and oversees CG/LA’s highly successful Leadership Forum teams, including:

• The  3° Annual Global Infrastructure Leadership Forum (the Top 100 strategic global infrastructure projects);
• The 2° Annual North American Strategic Infrastructure Leadership Forum (the Top 50 strategic infrastructure projects in North America);
• The 8° Annual Latin American Leadership Forum (the Top 50 strategic infrastructure projects in Latin America); and
• The series of Special Leadership Forum events, focused on areas of critical opportunity worldwide (Russia, Vietnam, Brazil, etc.).

He also leads the CG/LA team that develops infrastructure projects globally; and provides high level strategy assessment for the public (cities, states, countries, MDB’s) and private (finance, E&C, equipment/technology) sectors. Among other honors he is a visiting professor in the Politecnico de Madrid, a regular contributor to AmericaEconomia, and an Advisory Board Member of ProAm Vietnam (Hanoi), The Center for Transformation and Strategic Initiatives (London/Washington), and SPINEQ (Madrid). Mr. Anderson began his career as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, serving for a total of five years -- including the last two as a grantee of the Inter-American Foundation. He has a graduate degree from Harvard University, and an undergraduate degree from the University of Virginia. He is married to the former Ingrid Sckell – they have two children, Norman Gabriel (22) and Janina Victoria (19). He speaks fluent Spanish, Portuguese and Guarani.
