Inclusive Capital and Community Conference

The Inclusive Capital and Community Conference at Stanford Graduate School of Business will debut on Wednesday, March 4, 2026, bringing together students, faculty, alumni, and professionals committed to building opportunity through business and celebrating the accomplishments of Hispanic and Latine business leaders.

Hosted by the Hispanic Business Student Association (HBSA), this conference explores how leaders deploy capital and build enduring institutions to broaden upward mobility. Through the lenses of finance & investing, entrepreneurship, and healthcare, it examines the strategies the next generation needs to drive lasting impact and scale organizations. Attendees will hear from executives and entrepreneurs across industries who are shaping the future of inclusive growth.

While the conference centers Hispanic and Latine leadership, the ideas and frameworks we’ll discuss are relevant to all leaders seeking to create inclusive growth and lasting impact across communities.

We’re honored to welcome Carlos Brito, CEO of Belron Group, one of the world’s leading vehicle glass repair, replacement and recalibration companies. Belron operates in 40 countries through wholly-owned and franchise operations and also manages vehicle glass and other insurance claims on behalf of insurance customers. Brito spent 32 years at AB InBev and was CEO from 2005 until 2021. During his 15 years as CEO, he transformed AB InBev into the world’s largest brewer, with a portfolio of brands including Budweiser, Corona and Stella Artois. During his tenure, Brito grew the market capitalization of AB InBev from $26bn in 2005 to $141bn in 2020. He has a strong commitment to investing in people, environmental stewardship and doing business responsibly.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brito has lived in Brazil, Germany, Canada, Belgium and the US and is now based in the UK.
