CROATIA
Fashion entrepreneur Josip Grabovac, 39, was raised in Croatia but has spent the past decade living in Milan making a name for himself as a writer, consultant and social media strategist. He counts nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram, runs a popular blog called Glas Mode ("voice of fashion" in Croatian) and founded an incubator this year called Milan Fashion Department to help launch brands with an emphasis on developing talent from the Balkans. "I want young people from countries that are often on the margins of the global fashion scene to take their place equally, professionally and with pride," he says.

The latest Forbes Argentina cover features Horacio Daniel Marín, CEO of oil-and-gas company YPF S.A., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange and is majority-owned by the Argentine government. Marín details growth plans that, he hopes, will nearly triple the company's $12.7 billion market value in five years. That was before a U.S. judge ordered Argentina in June to forfeit its 51% stake in YPF as partial repayment of a $16 billion judgment owed to former investors after the cash-strapped country's former president expropriated shares and nationalized YPF in 2012. Argentina's current president, Javier Milei, plans to appeal the decision.
