Holding economics degrees from the University of Minnesota (1985) and Iowa State University (’99 MS Economics), Signoret has taught economics in the United States at the University of Arkansas and in Mexico at Monterrey Tec and the Autonomous University of Queretaro. Signoret founded the boutique asset management firm, TransEconomics in 2001. Its wealth management division offers wealth planning and alternative asset management for Mexican high net worth families.
She spoke to the club and visitors about her work, and her time at Iowa State, and gave students advice on preparing themselves for the business world.
