Arkapital Leadership Team Launches European Tour With CLA to Expand Latino Business Influence Globally
Dallas, Texas – Arkapital Financial, a leading financial services firm serving high-achieving professionals, today announced a European tour in partnership with CLA (CASA LATAM), a global business association dedicated to promoting Latino excellence and heritage within the luxury sector.
The tour, which began at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in May, continued on to the Venice Film Festival in September with the promotion of Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated documentary Sangre del Toro. The tour will now follow to Spain, France, and Italy, with co-founders Sandra Salcido and Isaac Salcido attending in person. The program will feature exclusive luncheons, networking mixers, and private dinners with key leaders—gatherings designed to strengthen global connections and lay the foundation for the 2026 Awards Night and Global Summit, uniting U.S. Hispanic leaders with Latino communities across Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
Building on the visibility generated at these cultural milestones, the initiative now extends into Madrid Fashion Week and Paris Fashion Week, where Latino heritage, artistry, and innovation will be showcased within the luxury fashion ecosystem. By bridging the worlds of cinema, culture, and couture, Arkapital and CLA are amplifying Latino excellence at the very heart of global influence.
“Our mission has always been clear: to empower visionaries, athletes, and entrepreneurs with the financial expertise to transform ambition into lasting success. Taking this commitment to Europe alongside CASA LATAM represents more than a tour—it reflects Arkapital’s long-term strategy to expand globally and position Latino excellence at the center of international markets,” said Sandra Salcido, CFO of Arkapital Financial.
Founded in partnership with Latin American embassies and cultural institutions, CLA creates global visibility and market access for visionary Latino talent. “In today’s interconnected economy, the most effective leaders are those with global exposure to diverse ideologies, economic systems, and leadership models. At CLA, our mission is to equip Latino leaders with these experiences. As Latinos increasingly build lives across the world, whether driven by political shifts, lifestyle preferences, or growth opportunities, it is imperative that our heritage is preserved, our culture honored, our capital expanded, and our influence exposed globally,” said Annie Grijalva, Founder of CLA.
The organizations will actively share updates and insights from the tour across their social media channels, aiming to extend the conversation beyond scheduled events and itineraries. Recognizing that meaningful synergies often emerge through dynamic interactions while traveling, both organizations are committed to fostering ongoing engagement and collaboration within the global Latino entrepreneurial community.
