Delphos International appoints Noah Mamet as Chairman for the Americas

16 July 2020, Washington, D.C. - Delphos International Ltd., a specialist in raising debt and equity from development finance institutions (DFIs), export credit agencies (ECAs) and other government agencies focused on emerging markets, is pleased to appoint Ambassador Noah Mamet as Chairman for the Americas.

In 2004, Mamet created the consulting firm NMA Consulting Partners LLC, with offices in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The company offered business, philanthropic, and political consulting services to a wide range of organizations and companies, including the Wasserman Foundation, City National Bank, Space X, and the National Democratic Institute. Over the course of his career, Mamet has served as a key advisor to numerous Democratic politicians, including candidates for the presidency, House and Senate. In the 2012 election, he served on President Barack Obama's National Finance Committee.Named ambassador by President Obama, Mamet served as the top U.S. diplomat in Argentina from 2014 to 2017. Known as a passionate champion of the United States and California in Argentina, Ambassador Mamet helped rapidly improve and expand bilateral relations between the two countries in the fields of technology, entrepreneurship, renewable energy, educational exchange, security, trade, and climate change. While in Argentina, Ambassador Mamet created the Friends of Fulbright Scholarship Program - the first educational exchange program in the country entirely funded by the private sector. The program, which enables Argentine undergraduate students to travel and study at leading universities in the U.S. for short-term exchanges, was a milestone within the U.S. State Department. In addition, he initiated the first-ever U.S.-Argentina Entrepreneur of the Year Award, partnering with the Argentine public and private sectors, religious organizations, and unions to recognize the next generation of Argentine entrepreneurs. In March 2016, Ambassador Mamet hosted President Obama's historic visit to Buenos Aires, the first U.S. presidential visit to Argentina in 20 years.

The Republic of Argentina awarded him the Medal of San Martín at the rank of Great Cross, making Mamet only the third American in over 200 years to receive the distinction. Further, the Centro de Estudios Americanos conferred the "Bridges of the Americas" award on him for his promotion of bilateral educational, cultural, and professional exchanges. Mamet was also the first foreign diplomat ever to be featured on the cover of La Nación magazine (the Argentine equivalent of Time Magazine; see translation here). A resident of Marina del Rey, Ambassador Mamet is now a senior advisor for Latin America to DLA Piper, one of the largest corporate law firms in the world. He also continues to advise companies and investors interested in expanding into Latin America and currently sits on the boards of directors of the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars and the Center for Strategic Studies, both located in Washington, D.C. In addition, the UCLA alumnus is a partner in a solar and battery storage company based in Brazil and the owner of a vineyard in Mendoza, Argentina, which bottles "Diplomático" wine.

Linda Habgood, CEO of Delphos International Ltd added: "We could not be more pleased to have Ambassador Mamet joining our Advisory Board as Chairman for the Americas. Delphos has a 33-year history of executing benchmark transactions for its sector-diverse client base, and we look forward to expanding our relationships in the Americas and the Caribbean under Noah's superb leadership. Noah brings extensive experience in emerging markets and is a trusted advisor to corporations across the region."
