The World Fellows

Attorney Beatriz Boza has helped to reform the way Peru handles its fiscal affairs. A crusader for good government, she developed and implemented a major anti-corruption effort and other reform programs during her country’s difficult transition to a more democratic government. A former head of both Peru’s consumer protection agency and market liberalization organization, Boza helped to modernize the training of Peru’s public officials.
