Jorge LavardeInterview with Jorge Laverde

Portada: Why do you think you are qualified to talk about the Mexican market?

Jorge Laverde: I think I´m qualified to talk about the Mexican market, particularly because I´ve been directly involved not only with the Mexican market for more than 6 yrs, but also with the Mexican culture. During the past 2 ½ hrs I´ve been leading the Nokia marketing team for LTA North (including Mexico), and actively engaging with consumers, customers, agencies, and suppliers to better understand their habits, practices and needs. Some years ago, I led a marketing team for Procter & Gamble that was responsible for driving the feminine care business in Latin America with a strong focus in Mexico. In the personal side, I´ve been traveling extensively across Mexico with my family, to get more acquainted with the Mexican culture.
