“Having a well-developed tech ecosystem and technically skilled engineers, Colombia is one of the fastest-growing IT hubs in the LATAM region. Additionally, Colombia is the perfect location to set up the first delivery center in Latin America and work with our growing US client roster. By cooperating closely with Colombian IT experts, educational centers, and IT hubs, we plan to build a top-tier team of engineers who will join our efforts in digitalizing the world. We invite local developers to apply to join the Intellias team and grow with the company,” said Vitaly Sedler, CEO and co-founder of Intellias

Intellias claims to have been named the best IT employer by Forbes and EY in 2020 and 2021, and has also been named one of the most family-friendly companies in Ukraine by UNFPA. This, according to the company, is due to paying special attention to nurturing and supporting a human-to-human corporate culture. Team members can manage their careers, work remotely, master new skills, become mentors, join engineering communities, and even get insurance for their pets.

“Setting Colombia as a new global location is a big and strategic step for Intellias. We hope to get access to the world-renowned LATAM talent market, using Colombia as a key bridge, while also using Colombia’s close ties with North America to foster a strong partnership with our clients. We look forward to cooperating with Colombian specialists on top-notch engineering projects and creating outstanding digital solutions while enjoying the rich culture and diversity Colombia has to offer,” Camilo Riveros,  Intellias Employee Experience Manager for Colombia

Last year, Intellias reported 50% growth, opening new offices in Croatia, Bulgaria, Spain, Portugal, and Poland; and acquiring Digitally Inspired, a fast-growing UK-based development company focusing on retail and eCommerce industries. Intellias also has offices in Ukraine, working with the country’s engineers to launch initiatives to support the Ukrainian people during the country’s defense against Russian aggression. In 2023, the company plans to open even more locations in Colombia and India.

Avianca, Digicel and Odebrecht recently defaulted on debt and have a combined $202 million due in 2020, most of which is debt held by issuers that did not participate in prior restructurings. This debt is not expected to be repaid. Travel restrictions related to the coronavirus will hinder Avianca’s ability to recover, while Digicel will struggle with weak currencies and pressured accounts receivable collections.

On the other hand, refinancing risk is manageable for CFE, ENAP and Codelco due to their ownership by the governments of Mexico and Chile, and they account for $4.9 billion of bonds falling due in 2020.

Refinancing risk is also low for America Movil, CSN, Bimbo, SABESP and SCC. Eight issuers are rated ‘B–’ or lower and account for $2.5 billion of the debt. Argentine issuers IRSA and YPF combined have $821 million of bonds maturing in 2020, with YPF accounting for 90%. Capital controls and market volatility impair Argentine corporates’ capacity to access international capital markets, execute liability management processes and service debt.
