The Player: Beatrice Rangel

Latest Play: Joined New York-based Zemi Communications as managing director and president of AMLA Consulting, Zemi's new Miami-based business consulting affiliate.

Background: The Venezuelan native held a number of government posts in her home country, including ones at the ministries of Foreign Relations and of Education. Later she joined the entertainment conglomerate Cisneros Group of Cos. When the company relocated to Miami four years ago, she moved with the company as a vice president and senior advisor to its chairman.
