During the first edition of Zima Talks 2025 —an event that brought together key business and financial leaders from across the region— CMI, Corporación Multi Inversiones, had a standout presence. Enrique Crespo, CEO of CMI Capital, shared the company’s strategic approach to business growth in shifting environments, highlighting the importance of agile, adaptable management in navigating challenges and capitalizing on new opportunities in today’s markets.
Guided by the strategic vision of Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez, Chairman of CMI’s Board of Directors, Crespo’s participation emphasized the role of adaptability and resource optimization as fundamental pillars for building sustainable, efficient businesses with a positive social impact.
The event provided a valuable platform to reaffirm CMI’s ongoing commitment to sustainable development and regional well-being.
Enrique Crespo and the Strategic Vision of CMI Capital
In the panel titled “Expansion Strategies,” Enrique Crespo outlined how CMI Capital transitioned to an Active Asset Manager model. This shift enables disciplined, effective investment management by focusing resources on markets with sustainable growth potential and adapting quickly to regulatory and economic challenges.
Crespo highlighted the critical importance of access to capital markets as a financing tool for sustainable projects—something demonstrated in 2021 when CMI successfully issued $700 million in green bonds, marking the company’s entry into the international capital markets.
Sustainability and Financing: Key Drivers of Growth
One of Crespo’s central messages was the strategic importance of sustainable financing and environmental responsibility in corporate investment. He emphasized how renewable energy and real estate development projects deliver solid returns, but also create jobs, benefit communities, and contribute meaningfully to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
This comprehensive approach —supported by Juan Luis Bosch Gutiérrez from the Board of Directors— reinforces CMI’s long-term vision and its mission to generate tangible opportunities that improve people’s quality of life.
