In this episode of the Scottish Business Network Podcast, we sit down with Charles Kergaravat, a New Yorker with Breton roots who has built a remarkable career bridging cultures, business, and innovation across the Celtic nations.
Charles shares his journey from Wall Street to Brittany, France, where he left behind a finance career to embrace a new life focused on tech, entrepreneurship, and community building. At the heart of his story is the Interceltic Business Forum, an initiative born out of the famous Festival Interceltique de Lorient, now connecting entrepreneurs, investors, and diaspora communities from Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and beyond.
Listen in for a powerful blend of heritage, innovation, and opportunity—with a Braveheart-style invitation for Scotland to step forward onto the inter-Celtic stage.

Welcome to the second of three special episodes of the Scottish Business Network podcast in partnership with the UK Government’s Department of Business and Trade and, in particular, its International Markets Team for Latin America and the Caribbean.
In this episode, it' a great pleasure to hear from Spencer Mahony, His Majesty’s Deputy Trade Commissioner for Latin America and the Caribbean, based in Mexico City. Brimming with enthusiasm for the region, Spencer explains why there are great opportunities for many Scottish businesses in these markets, and how he and his team can help. He also casts a fresh light on countries that perhaps don’t always get the most balanced coverage in the media. For anyone interested in trade opportunities with this part of the world, it’s a great listen.
If you have any queries about markets in Latin America and the Caribbean, or would like to explore trade opportunities there, do get in touch by sending an email to exportsupport.latac@fcdo.gov.uk.
And do listen to the two other episodes in this series:
Iseabail Mctaggart: Scottish Salmon & the Sushi Chefs of Brazil
Robin Sampson: Trade Spaces in Colombia
