Felipe Rivadeneira

Felipe Rivadeneira is the president of the Federation of Ecuadorian Exporters (Fedexpor). He has been a prominent advocate for improving Ecuador's trade relationships, particularly with the United States, emphasizing the need for a free trade agreement to enhance the country's export capacity. Rivadeneira has highlighted the significant economic implications of Ecuador's current trade status, pointing out the annual losses incurred due to the absence of such agreements. His leadership comes at a crucial time, as Ecuador recorded a historic trade surplus in 2024, which he attributes to the strong performance of the non-petroleum export sector.
