Antonio Tejedo, Vice President of Investor Relations at Grupo TRAXIÓN, joins us to discuss the transformation of Mexico’s leading transportation and logistics company, from a traditional trucking operator into an integrated platform spanning freight, people mobility, warehousing, brokerage, technology and supply-chain management.
We look at how TRAXIÓN was built through acquisitions, how nearshoring challenges and tariffs are hurting the company, the shift towards a more asset-light model, and how the Solistica acquisition from Femsa is going. We also discuss investor perceptions of the company, and why its valuation is so discounted.
We also interview Mauricio Schwartzmann of PayTech Yuno following the company’s latest funding round of $45mn, on how AI is changing payments, banking and financial infrastructure. Mauricio explains why he left his plum job as Mastercard Mexico Head to join his former Rappi colleagues at startup Yuno.
Before the interviews, Eduardo and Damian discuss Tiendas 3B’s extraordinary growth in 2Q26 and how hard discount and e-commerce are squeezing traditional retailers, and ICA’s decision to buy out Fluor after more than three decades together, and what that transaction could say about Pemex paying suppliers going forward.
They also reflect on the passing of Miguel Mancera Aguayo, former head of Banco de México and one of Mexico’s most admired and consequential public servants, whose role in securing central-bank autonomy in 1994 helped shape Mexico for the good.
They discuss Kavak’s striking claims about AI transforming its business, the latest twists and turns in USMCA negotiations, and ask why the Mexican Peso is so strong and if that is a good or bad thing.
