Woltmann Consulting

Gustavo Woltmann’s interest in reaching out to the youths of Mexico City started with one little boy.

Today, he has been recognized by the Mexican government for his efforts to teach business to the youths of Mexico City on several occasions. Mr. Woltmann, a business consultant for Aon Inc., has been offering his business knowledge to young entrepreneurs on a pro bono basis for the past two years. He is looking to make a difference in a city where economic successes are few and far between.

Gustavo Woltmann has worked for Aon Inc. for over 10 years. Aon Inc. is a large multinational corporation focusing on consulting and insurance. The company has over 62,000 employees scattered over 120 countries. It is one of the largest business consulting firms in the world. Gustavo’s role within the company is management consulting, and with this latest project, he has turned that knowledge into a program to teach the young people of Mexico City how to start their own small business, called Viva Negocios.

“These essential skills are not being communicated effectively at a young age in our communities, which is why many new businesses fail and why kids are turning to the streets to make a buck. I want to foster a desire in these kids to start healthy new business, not run errands for cheap, or worse…turn to selling drugs.”

Woltmann understands it is a difficult dream to sell since most businesses fail within their first three years, but he thinks that it does not have to be this way. Besides teaching the basics of business, Woltmann teaches a ‘yes, we can’ approach to funding and streamlining new start-ups, and offering suggestions which trim expenses while still providing a high level of service.

The room for small business start-ups may seem implausible in a city notorious for its high population and extensive existing industries. These industries such as: metal and plastic fabrication, chemical and pharmaceutical production are areas of commerce that Gustavo Woltmann feels that attention needs to be focused less on. With pollution at an all time high in the city, Woltmann promotes smaller scale, greener business to his students.
