Our mission is simple: sustainable and inclusive development with integrity, focused on women in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Asymmetrica Inc traces its roots to 2010 implementing multidimensional security and financial integrity for government and private sector clients. From our Washington, DC office, we continue to implement Western Hemisphere projects that support access to accurate information (countering disinformation), the empowerment of women and girls in an inclusive political and economic system. Integrity and inclusion are in our DNA.
Asymmetrica Europa, founded in 2023, leads a team of globally-recognized experts in innovative environmental policy and finance that leaves long-term economic development for local communities, with an emphasis on women, girls, and indigenous groups.
Our global reputation for business integrity and the promotion of good governance is based on the values of our founder, Dr. Vanessa Neumann, currently Spokesperson for Democratic Governance in South America for the IX Summit of the Americas process, which lasts through mid-2025.
