Top Executives Net (TEN) receives
Multicultural Achievement Award
ROCHESTER HILLS, MI (October 11, 2007) – Top Executives Net (TEN) of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, has been recognized with MBC Global’s Multicultural Achievement Award.

TEN is a worldwide online business community designed to build business between Latin
America and the rest of the world. Unlike other online professional contact communities,
TEN is highly driven by cultural factors. Members introduce themselves and search for
professionals based on three cultural distinctions: their industry, job function, and/or
hobbies and interests. The cultural aspect allows for stronger relationships, which leads to greater trust and
the open exchange of business opportunities.

TEN’s target audience is Latin American professionals with international ambition, qualifications, and skills to
compete and offer their products and services abroad. Foreign executives find TEN to a valuable connection
point if they are interested in representing Latin American products or services in their respective countries,
desire to set up strategic alliances or joint-ventures with Latin American companies, seek investments in
projects in Latin America or with Latin American partners, or that want to recruit a Latin American workforce for
their global ventures. Many are able to find representatives for their products or services allowing expansion in
Latin America.

Members are able to view TEN in either Portuguese or English. Plans are in progress to add a Spanish option
in the near future.

MBC Global (mbcglobal.org) presented TEN with their Multicultural Achievement Award due to their
understanding of the importance of combining three cultural distinctions in the formation of professional
relationships. This is a much broader viewpoint than the typical relationship online networking, which normally
looks at only one factor in making connection.

TEN is the only online business community which has a clear CNO - Chief Networking Officer who salutes all
and every single newcomer in English, Portuguese or Spanish in accordance to their roots stated on their
profiles and who is very concerned on adding consistent value to all members continuously. As a result, TEN
has been growing nicely in quantity but mainly in quality by attracting top executives of major corporations
such as ABN Amro, Accenture, Accor, Allergan, Amadeus, Amanco, Avaya, Banco do Brasil, Bearing Point,
Cisco, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Datasul, Dell, Deloitte & Touche, DHL, EDS, Ernst & Young, Gartner, Getronics,
HSBC, IBM, Itaú, Iveco, Lenovo, Microsoft, Mundo PM, Oracle, Orange, Petrobrás, Peugeot-Citröen, Philip
Morris, PWC, Rabobank, Regus, Samsung, SAP, SAS, SGS, Shell, Siemens, Simprentis, Sony, Standard &
Poor´s, Telefônica Móviles, Telenor, TIM, T-Mobile, TNT, TV Cultura, Unibanco, Unisys, Visanet, Vivo and
Zigfreda among many.
