George de Lama

George de Lama was appointed External Relations Advisor at Inter-American Development Bank in August 2009. Prior to joining the IDB, he had a distinguished 30-year career at the Chicago Tribune, rising through the newsroom ranks as a reporter, national and foreign correspondent, chief of correspondents and, ultimately, managing editor for news.

As managing editor, de Lama helped oversee a team of reporters and editors that won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize (for Investigative Reporting) and the George Polk Award for their coverage of dangerous toys, baby cribs and other defective child products, marked by lax government oversight that led to deaths documented by the newspaper.
