Diane Alleva Cáceres had a chance to start working on her doctorate straight out of college. Instead, she embarked on a career in international trade and investment, building connections all around the world before finally settling in Atlanta and choosing the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs to pursue an advanced degree. Now, Cáceres is a lecturer at the Nunn School, the CEO of Market Access International—an international trade and investment consulting firm—and the president of World Trade Center Atlanta. On top of that, the longtime elected member of the Council on Foreign Relations recently was awarded an International Affairs Fellowship in Canada by the organization. When she leaves for the 6- to 12-month assignment, she will be based part-time at the Institute for Research on Public Policy in Montreal, and will examine the nexus of science, technology, international trade and investment within the U.S.-Canada relationship.
