Q . WHO DO YOU FIND INSPIRING ?
» I ' ve had some great mentors throughout my career . I ' m originally from Mexico , so that ' s where my career started . Under my first boss , I got the opportunity to launch the Amazon Mexico store . There were 10 of us stuck in a room trying to figure out how to build the biggest ecommerce store in Latin America . Gloria , my boss , was a revolutionary feminist in executive empowerment and showed me how to lead by example .
Then , when I joined BBG ’ s global procurement and sustainability team in Switzerland , I had another female boss and mentor called Annabel , and she sparked in me the passion to find solutions for a circular value chain to our breweries , and so we began working closely with more startups and innovation solutions .
