Regional CEO, Logistics Services

Individual Buyer in Mexico City, Mexico

Interests: I am primarily interested in businesses where operational excellence, commercial execution, and strategic leadership can create significant value. I am not a passive investor, I prefer situations where my experience can materially improve performance. Key factors I look for include: - Established, profitable businesses with recurring revenues and a loyal customer base. - Strong cash generation and healthy unit economics rather than businesses dependent on continuous external funding. - Opportunities where growth has stalled due to management, sales, operational inefficiencies, or lack of strategic direction rather than a weak underlying business. - Companies with experienced employees, scalable processes, and the potential for regional or international expansion. - Businesses with defensible market positions, long-term customer relationships, and high switching costs. - Owners seeking succession, retirement, or a Management Buy-In where continuity and professional management are important. Industries of interest include: 1. Logistics and supply chain services. 2. B2B services. 3. Industrial services. 4. Manufacturing with niche products. 5. Distribution businesses. 6. Technology-enabled businesses with proven commercial traction. 7. Asset-light companies with recurring revenue models. I am generally less interested in: - Early-stage startups with unproven business models. - Businesses heavily dependent on a single customer or founder. - Fashion, hospitality, restaurants, nightlife, or businesses driven primarily by consumer trends. - Businesses requiring constant capital injections to sustain operations. - Highly regulated industries where value creation depends primarily on political or regulatory decisions. My background includes leading multinational operations, scaling commercial organisations, driving operational efficiency, and executing growth strategies across multiple countries. I am particularly interested in opportunities where professional management, disciplined execution, and strategic leadership can unlock the next stage of growth.
Background: I am an individual investor. Over the past 20 years, I have built, acquired, scaled and managed businesses across logistics, supply chain, international trade and B2B services. My career combines entrepreneurial experience with senior executive leadership, giving me a practical understanding of what it takes to grow businesses beyond the founder stage. I currently lead the Latin American operations of a global logistics group. My responsibilities include commercial strategy, profit and loss management, organizational development, pricing, operations, acquisitions, and long-term growth initiatives. In parallel, I have founded and developed my own businesses in logistics and infrastructure, giving me first-hand experience with business creation, financing, hiring, sales, operational improvement and succession challenges. My expertise includes: * Scaling businesses across multiple countries. * Sales transformation and commercial execution. * Operational excellence and process optimization. * Profitability improvement through pricing, cost control and productivity. * Organizational design, leadership development and performance management. * International expansion and cross-border business development. * Strategic planning, governance and succession. Rather than pursuing financial engineering, I focus on creating value through better leadership and execution. I am particularly interested in established businesses where a solid foundation already exists but where growth has slowed due to limited management capacity, succession issues, or underdeveloped commercial and operational practices. I am open to Management Buy-In, majority acquisitions, partnerships with founders, and succession-led transactions where I can take an active leadership role. I enjoy working alongside existing teams, preserving what already works while introducing the structure, accountability and strategic direction needed to accelerate sustainable growth. Ultimately, I look for businesses with strong fundamentals, loyal customers and committed employees, where professional management can unlock their next phase of development.
