Description:
PeopLink and CatGen are the brainchildren of Dan Salcedo, a Colombian-American aid worker who, during the 1970s and 1980s, started a hugely-successful mail order catalog featuring artisan crafts called Pueblo to People. In 1995, Dan realized the coming importance of e-commerce and shifted his efforts away from mail-order to the Internet.
In this interview, NextBillion.net's Derek Newberry interviews Dan about his experiencing running PeopLink and CatGen for the past 10 years.
