A regional network led by local chairs.

Richard Pollack

From the United States he leads the network’s international leadership and The Shift’s strategic direction as a global platform. A lawyer by training and former Sullivan & Cromwell partner, he came to the demographic agenda through a personal question: how does a society—and the institutions that sustain it—prepare for lives that last thirty years longer than their social contracts were designed for? That conviction guides The Shift’s global development today.

Andrea Falcone

As Regional Lead for Latin America at The Shift, Andrea Falcone drives the organization’s regional expansion and initiatives linked to demographic change, longevity, and the future of work.

She created Silver Economy Forum in Argentina and now builds a regional agenda with organizations, governments, universities, and strategic partners across Latin America.

María Inés Castillo

She leads The Shift’s presence in Panama and regional coordination across Central America and the Caribbean.

Her background spans the private sector and public service, including serving as Panama’s Minister of Social Development. That experience shaped her view of vulnerability, exclusion, and social gaps—and today she focuses on opportunities for all ages, intergenerational integration, and helping organizations and communities adapt to a new demographic reality.

Alejandro Amicone

He leads The Shift’s presence in Peru. With extensive corporate leadership experience, including as Country Manager at Accenture, he was among the early drivers of silver-economy initiatives in Peru. That path led him to recognize early how demographic transformation will affect talent, productivity, markets, and organizational competitiveness.

Cecilia Illonka Pinzón

She leads The Shift’s presence in Colombia and a local agenda on demographic change.

An international speaker and executive coach with more than 25 years in talent management and experience across 600+ organizations in the region and worldwide. She founded Be to Grow, where she has supported more than 15,000 leaders in cultural transformation and leadership development—work that now focuses on intergenerational integration and preparing organizations for a longer-lived society.
