Vicente Vargas

Vicente has been the CEO of Redes Sociales para el Desarrollo (REDDES) and the Observatorio de Desarrollo Regional y Promoción Social (ODP) since 2013. Under his leadership, these organizations have established one of Mexico's most comprehensive databases on municipal governance and development. Vicente's intervention methodology involves forming networks of social promoters to assess and manage social risks, offering solutions to federal agencies, local governments, international organizations, and the private sector--particularly in the extractive and energy industries.

REDDES strives to create a significant impact on the incomes of impoverished families by selecting, recruiting, training, and seeking professional opportunities for agricultural workers in Mexico and the U.S.
