ATCC Annual Meeting: Looking Back and Moving Forward

On Friday, May 30, the Argentina-Texas Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors held its Annual Meeting—an important occasion to reflect on the work done over the past year and to collectively set our vision for the future. The meeting included a comprehensive review of ATCC’s initiatives from May 2024 to May 2025, as well as the official election of the Chamber’s new Board of Directors.

We extend our heartfelt thanks and recognition to Juan Pablo Di Pietro, Past President of ATCC, for his outstanding leadership and dedication throughout this last term. His commitment was instrumental in the Chamber’s continued growth and impact across both regions.

We are also pleased to announce that Ariel Masut has assumed the role of President. An economist with 15 years of experience in the oil & gas, energy, and consulting sectors, Ariel brings a strong background in strategic planning, business development, and advisory for energy companies—both in corporate and consultancy roles. He currently serves as General Manager of Grupo Beraldi. His vision and expertise will be key to driving the Chamber’s next chapter.

Joining him as President-Elect is Gabriela Aguilar, a highly respected leader with over 30 years in the oil & gas industry across Latin America. Currently serving as VP for LATAM and General Manager for Argentina and Brazil at Excelerate Energy, Gabriela also plays an active role in numerous boards and organizations promoting energy development, sustainability, and diversity.

As part of our continued efforts to expand the Chamber’s reach and impact, we are proud to announce the creation of a new regional chapter: The Central Chapter. This new chapter, led by Albana Bigoglio, will focus on strengthening our presence in Argentina’s productive heartland—particularly in the provinces of Córdoba, Santa Fe, and Mendoza. By deepening our engagement with these key regions, we aim to promote new business opportunities, highlight regional strengths, and reinforce the Argentina–Texas corridor from the country’s most dynamic economic centers.

It was a productive and meaningful meeting where we took time to recognize the achievements of the past year, define new goals, and most importantly, celebrate the people who make our mission possible. We look forward to the year ahead with renewed energy and commitment—and invite our community to continue being part of this exciting journey.
