Who We Are
“If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door” ― Milton Berle
ABLA was established by Osanan Barros and Roger Frankel as a catalyst to generate a higher level of engagement between the business communities of Australia, Brazil and Latin America. Our core skill is to identify opportunities and design strategies to successfully prosecute them. We have strong cross-cultural understanding, fluency in the languages and unique networks as exemplified in our Advisory Board. ABLA is able to operate seamlessly through its connections in several Latin American countries, with particular strength in Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Argentina.
Values
ABLA’s values emphasise integrity and trustability in all our dealings in Australia and Latin America, a commitment to effective and timely client service and a long-term vision for the involvement of our clients in the region. While ABLA operates commercially, its founders, Osanan Barros and Roger Frankel, are passionate about developing closer and mutually rewarding links between Australia and Latin America.
Scope
ABLA\'s scope of services ranges from straight forward market research through to assistance in structuring projects and business deals in key Latin American countries. We can access expertise in many different sectors, but the main areas of opportunity at present are in mining and mining services, oil and gas exploration, renewable energy, agribusiness, technology and innovation and education.
