This week, we speak with Esteban Saldarriaga, CEO of LatAm Logistics Properties and Tom Hennessy, Chairman and CEO of the SPAC, two (NYSE: TWOA).
The pair announced a $578 million combination in August.

Tom also explains how the deal came together for his team, which used a unique approach of taking over an existing SPAC to get the transaction done.
