History

Ann Schroeder created Latinsource in 1995. She used her experience at Lehman Brothers and Institutional Analysts to assemble local analysts in Latin America to conduct economic and political research in the region. The analysts were past central bank presidents, officials, and people involved in dictating policy for their respective governments.
A few years later in 2000, Schroeder gathered analysts with comparable credentials in other emerging market countries. She then renamed the company GlobalSource Partners.
In April 2018, Jim Feingold was appointed the President and CEO of GlobalSource. He runs the day to day operations of the company, replacing Schroeder.
