The Gateway To and From Latin America and Around the World

South Florida is a diverse international community and remains the gateway to and from Latin America but it has also become a key location for U.S. domestic and foreign company headquarters from around the world. Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties are home to over 1,150 multinationals and although more than half are U.S. companies, there are 53 other nations represented. These local companies alone oversee more than US$ 221 billion in annual revenues, including 45 companies that oversee more than $1 billion each.

Throughout the past decade, a large number of companies from North America, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe and Asia have set up offices here to take advantage of South Florida as the epicenter for business to, from and around Latin America and the world. As a result, South Florida's workforce has grown younger, more multilingual and more culturally diverse, with a distinct Latin flavor. Although English is the official language, it is not uncommon to hear Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and a host of other languages all around. In 2007, Miami became the fourth largest urbanized area in the United States, behind New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Also in 2008, Miami was ranked as "America's Cleanest City" according to Forbes Magazine for its year-round good air quality, vast green spaces, clean drinking water, clean streets and city-wide recycling programs.

South Florida's tropical climate and cultural diversity make it a key epicenter for tourism, international trade and international financial services. Yet a variety of other business sectors have experienced rapid expansion, including life sciences, transportation and logistics, energy, information technology, telecommunications, professional services and many more.

Located on Brickell Avenue, Boyden Miami is at the heart of South Florida's business needs. Our multilingual and multicultural staff serves as a bridge to companies conducting business in Latin America, companies from the Latin America region looking to expand into the U.S. and global multinationals looking to create a presence in the area. Further, Boyden Miami understands how business is conducted in the U.S. and around the world and serves as a strategic business partner to help clients to mitigate the cultural and corporate nuances that may arise with ease. Wherever the need for executive talent may arise, Boyden Miami has delivered again and again.
