Anything But Normal

By Kirby Jones

Kirby Jones is the President of Alamar, a Maryland-based consulting firm that provides consulting services to organizations interested in establishing relationships with, and conducting business in, Cuba.  Jones has traveled regularly to Cuba for the last 35 years, has conducted several television and print interviews with Fidel Castro, and has written extensively about Cuba.  Jones presented testimony on Cuba trade during Congressional hearings before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and testified at hearings conducted by the International Trade Commission.

Last week, The Cipher Brief sat down with Kirby Jones, the President of Alamar Associates, a company that has consulted on trade and business with Cuba since 1974, to discuss how U.S. businesses can take advantage of the recent changes to U.S.-Cuba relations.  He believes that the U.S. attempts to change the Cuban government are futile and that the embargo is causing U.S. companies to miss out in business opportunities in Cuba.  

TCB: You’ve been a long time advisor to companies seeking to do business in Cuba.  What is the business climate in Cuba like and how have you seen it change?
