It is a privilege to share that I was recently invited to join the Advisory Council for Regional Economic Development and Relocation (CADERR), an initiative convened by President Claudia Sheinbaum and coordinated by one of Mexico’s most respected business leaders, Altagracia Gómez Sierra.
The council brings together 15 members—8 women and 7 men—which, in itself, sends a powerful message. It reflects a genuine commitment to gender balance and highlights something I strongly believe in: better decisions are made when diverse perspectives are present at the table.
Mexico is at a defining moment.
We have a unique opportunity to grow in a structured and sustainable way—but only if we are able to build real collaboration between the public sector, private enterprise, and civil society. The challenges we face should not be avoided. They should be managed with intelligence and intention, and transformed into opportunities for development.
Our future will depend on our ability to attract investment, ensure both legal and physical certainty, and position Mexico as a country that inspires confidence—not only internationally, but among ourselves as Mexicans.
From my perspective—as an entrepreneur deeply committed to education, real estate, and gender equity—I take on this responsibility with both humility and determination. I firmly believe that open dialogue across sectors is essential to build solutions that are not only effective, but sustainable—and that truly impact people’s lives, regardless of their origin or political affiliation.
What gives me the most confidence is the group itself. Being surrounded by individuals with such diverse experiences and perspectives is both inspiring and necessary. Together, we have the opportunity to design strategies that position Mexico as a leader in the region.
This council is a reflection of the country we want to build: inclusive, innovative, and competitive.
But economic development is not only about numbers.
It is about improving quality of life.It is about creating quality jobs.It is about strengthening education and expanding access to opportunity.
We all have a role to play.
It is easy to criticize.What is more difficult—and more necessary—is to take responsibility and act.
Mexico has everything it needs to lead.
Now it is up to all of us to do the work—and turn that potential into reality.
