Eduardo Belmont received his BS in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Besides being the Chairman and CEO of Belcorp, Eduardo actively contributes to society through Belcorp´s Foundation, whose purpose is to awaken and build women's capabilities for a better future through education, professional training, and emotional and psychological support.
