has been successfully meeting client objectives since 1993 through customized economic and business consulting services for corporations and institutions based in Florida and in the global economy.

Each client is unique to us. We spend considerable time and effort in understanding the operations, goals, and objectives of our clients as they seek our consulting, professional speaking and strategic advice on economic issues. We are not a mass-production consulting entity nor do we accept every project that comes to us. We engage a limited number of clients each year that require customized consulting services in our premier areas of specialization.

These premier and exclusive services are headed by former U.S. Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs, Dr. J. Antonio Villamil, with over thirty years of high-level experience as a business executive, sought-after professional speaker and top public-sector official. Dr. Villamil serves as Principal Advisor to WEG Clients, and is the Dean of the School of Business of St. Thomas University in Miami, Florida.
Thank you for visiting our webpage.  It would be our pleasure to review your requirements for exclusive economic advisor services. Please, contact our Manager of Client Services, Mary Snow, directly at msnow@weg.com.
