EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Mexico 2013 Gala Dinner Supplement

This year’s EY Entrepreneur Of The

Year™ program in Mexico, which is the

fourth year in a row for the program in

our market, was a highlight event for

EY Mexico. It has been an honor for us

to work with this group of finalists who

have enjoyed success in the business

world thanks to their audacity and

resourcefulness.

Throughout the program, we had the

opportunity to get to know 47 Mexican

entrepreneurs who have set out to

change the world in their own way.

These entrepreneurs have dared to

dream that they can make a difference

and they have worked passionately day

after day to follow through on their

vision.

The experience the program offers is

not over for our finalists. In fact, being

selected by the panel of judges is only

the beginning, since from that moment

on the finalists become members of an

exclusive online community called the

Winners Network. This private network,

accessible 24 hours a day all year long,

brings its members together with a

distinguished group of their peers from

around the world to share ideas.

Program finalists may also join

Exchange, a series of live events where

regional groups of entrepreneurs

and general directors of high-growth

companies in similar stages of

development come together for a

unique opportunity to share strategies

for getting ahead in the market and to

learn from the experiences of those who

have faced challenges and opportunities

similar to their own.

Medicus, this year’s National

Winner, will participate in the World

Entrepreneur Of The Year™ event that

will be held in 2014 in Monte Carlo,

Monaco. Here, the success and tenacity

of entrepreneurs from more than 50

countries will take center stage.

This event is the culmination of the local

editions of the Entrepreneur Of The

Year program and it represents a unique

opportunity for visionaries from around

the world to spend time together, share

ideas and create a business network

with a global reach. Attendees will also

have the chance to hear the stories

of a group of renowned speakers as

they share the decisive factors of their

success.

Although the 2013 edition of the

program has come to a close, we look

forward to many more years of the EY

Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program

and the continued interaction and

collaboration that it will surely bring.

EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™

Good evening. All of us at EY Mexico are proud to share

with you some of our most significant achievements

during the first four editions of our EY Entrepreneur

Of The Year program: each year we have had more and more

women entrepreneurs participate in the program; we have

developed powerful tools for entrepreneurs and compelling

initiatives like the Global Center for Entrepreneurship and

Innovation and the Strategic Growth Forum®; and we have

created strong collaborative partnerships with the National

Entrepreneur Institute to undertake a number of exciting

projects and we have continued to support the work of other

organizations to further entrepreneurship in Mexico.

The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year program has become

an ideal setting for dialogue and partnering between the

major players in Mexico’s entrepreneurial community. The

international reach, the access to a vast network of global

contacts that participants enjoy and the prestige that our

program provides for participants across the more than 50

countries it reaches, have given us a unique opportunity to

provide a voice for our community of business visionaries to

express their needs and perspectives.

EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™: driving entrepreneurship

Before handing out the awards to the finalists of the 2013 edition

of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program, Francisco Álvarez

del Campo, CEO and General Manager of EY Mexico and Central

America, expressed his gratitude to the participants for being part

of this year’s program, and praised their hard work and dedication

to building their companies.

When we launched the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Mexico

program in 2010, we originally envisioned it as a forum for

paying tribute to Mexico’s entrepreneurs as they drive the

country’s economy and create most of its job opportunities.

However, we have since realized that our program has

become so much more than just this, as is seen by the growth

and achievements of the companies of our National Winners.

For this year’s edition, two of our past winners joined the

judging panel: Lorenzo Barrera Segovia, General Manager,

Partner, and Member of the Board of Banco BASE and the

2012 National Winner, and Rodrigo Herrera Aspra, Co-

founder and President of the Board of Directors of Genomma

Lab Internacional, and our 2010 National Winner and

program Judge in 2011 and 2012. Rodrigo has also made

his mark as a member of the judging panel for the World

Entrepreneur Of The Year event in 2012 and 2013.

Other members of the Mexican business community have

been kind enough to lend a hand to the program, including

two of this year’s judges: Raúl Ferráez Pérez Pascal, Director

of the magazines Líderes Mexicanos, Petróleo & Energía, and

Latino Leaders, and Alfonso González Migoya, President of

the Board and General Manager of Grupo Industrial Saltillo.

We know that the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ Mexico

program has much more to offer to those who take part in

it. We are certain that the enthusiasm and energy that our

entrepreneurs bring to our program

will lead the way for even better things

to come. All of the visionaries we are

honoring today are already winners

because they have dared to dream and

to take a chance to make their dreams

come true. Congratulations to all of you

for being winners already and thank you

for being a part of EY’s efforts to build a

better working world.

Lorenzo Barrera and Adrián Glief Cervantes.

This program represents an opportunity

to honor the achievements of Mexico’s

entrepreneurs but it is also a platform

to guide and motivate them towards

success. This is the main aim of this and

other initiatives created by the Firm

to promote a global entrepreneurial

culture. This is why the fourth

consecutive edition of EY Entrepreneur

Of The Year™ Mexico was so exciting,

since it gave us a special opportunity to

pay tribute to a group of entrepreneurs

who have stood out thanks to their

audacity and resourcefulness. During

the gala dinner, attendees had the

chance to interact with the finalists,

who represent a new generation of

Mexican entrepreneurs who have truly

set out to change the world. These

entrepreneurs have dared to dream that

everything can change and they have

worked passionately every day to build

their dreams.

EY honors Mexican entrepreneurial talent

The 47 finalist entrepreneurs from 39 companies attended

this year’s awards ceremony where, before giving out the

awards, Francisco Álvarez, CEO and General Manager of EY

Mexico and Central America, highlighted the importance of

this platform that honors Mexican talent.

Emilio Díaz, Managing Partner of EY Mexico’s Markets and

Client Services, was the Master of Ceremonies for this year’s

awards ceremony.

Support and coordinated work

For EY Mexico, trust is contagious. Entrepreneurs bring

the world the inspiration needed to grow the economy and

revolutionize how business is done. Through hard work and

willingness to seize opportunities, these entrepreneurs are

able to build exciting companies that stand out from the pack

by offering innovative products and services in settings that

are not always ideal.

EY’s efforts have benefited from the support of different

institutions that from their vantage points in the economy,

advocate entrepreneurship through direct support and

coordinated efforts. An example of this is BBVA Bancomer,

sponsor of the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2013 Mexico

Francisco Álvarez welcoming the finalists and guests.

program, which is unyielding in its work encouraging the

exchange and implementation of ideas of entrepreneurs

from around the world. Mario Marín de la Serna, Director of

BBVA Bancomer’s SME segment, shared a message with the

finalists and awards ceremony attendees emphasizing the

ways that BBVA Bancomer’s vision is right in step with EY’s vision.

Mario stressed that BBVA Bancomer is a corporate group that

works for both people and businesses, and that it is present in

more than 14 countries, serves 43 million customers, and has

more than 110 thousand employees. “At BBVA Bancomer, we

are convinced that the entrepreneurial ecosystem must be

built starting with university students through conversations

that stimulate their entrepreneurial spirit, and by working

with the government and the private sector to bring stability

and ensure the continuity of businesses, to create more jobs.”

Marín pointed out that: “BBVA Bancomer takes part in these

programs because our vision highlights the importance of

recognizing, helping, and encouraging entrepreneurs to keep

moving forward and to being their ally.”

At the end of his talk, Mario underlined the fact that this

is a critical time for Mexican companies because “the time

is right for SMEs and Mexico is now front and center on

the world stage, and BBVA Bancomer wants to be with our

entrepreneurs along their journeys. On behalf of BBVA

Bancomer, it is my sincerest wish that this program continues

on for many years to come.”

Unique personalities and stories

In our ever shifting world, only a small number of people truly

take risks. Few individuals are willing to put their capital and

reputations on the line to see their ideas come to life. The

unique personalities and stories of our entrepreneurs, who,

thanks to their vision, perseverance, and enthusiasm have

created companies that, step by step have made their mark

on Mexico’s different industries.

The group of entrepreneurs that took part in the EY

Entrepreneur Of The Year 2013 program share a number of

defining characteristics, such as creativity, dedication, and

industry knowledge and accordingly, all the finalists received

their award from representatives of EY Mexico and some of

the gala’s most prestigious attendees.

Mario Marín de la Serna of BBVA Bancomer.

We are convinced that the entrepreneurial ecosystem must be built starting with university students through conversations that stimulate their entrepreneurial spirit.

This is a huge surprise! We honestly never thought that we would win. This is a great award, since it is so important for us for a Firm like EY to value the work that we do every day to make a company like Iluméxico work, and to reach and help Mexico’s most underprivileged communities. Thank you very much.

Winner of the Under Development category

Creativity to achieve success

The winner of the Under Development category received the

award from Guadalupe Castañeda, Lead Partner of Strategic

Growth Markets of EY Mexico and Central America, and Mario

Marín, Director of the SME Segment of BBVA Bancomer, who

congratulated Tanya Moss Baran for the determination and

creativity she has demonstrated from the early days of her

career. The Tanya Moss company has become a successful

accessory brand, and has won legions of loyal customers.

The passion with which Tanya tackles each of her projects

translates into products that stand out for their excellent

craftsmanship.

Redoubling efforts for MexicoBefore the National Winner was announced, attendees of the gala event heard a message from Enrique Jacob Rocha, President of the National Entrepreneur Institute (INADEM). Enrique’s talk highlighted the increased role that entrepreneurship has played in Mexico since the beginning of this year when the Federal government increased its drive to promote the development of companies lead by visionary men and women.

Said Enrique: “The EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program, whose fourth edition comes to a close today, pays tribute to the entrepreneurial talent that is the main driver of the changes that Mexico needs. The creativity, energy, and audacity that characterize Mexico’s entrepreneurs are just what our economy needs.”

Enrique also encouraged the finalists to keep doing what they do: “Entrepreneurs find opportunities in tough situations. They don’t let obstacles stop them, and they maintain the level of motivation that sets them apart from others. You are all examples of this.”

After delivering his message, Enrique congratulated EY Mexico for its hard work and vision towards the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year™ program, and he also congratulated the finalists because just being there meant that they were already winners.

When all the finalists were named, it was quite a humbling experience because all the other finalists lead such great companies. Each of them has worked very hard for their companies and their people, but they have worked hard especially to contribute to growing Mexico‘s economy. Thank you EY for allowing me to be a part of this great program and for supporting Mexico’s entrepreneurs, whose contributions may sometimes be small financially speaking, but which play such a big part in achieving something bigger.

On behalf of the 2,000 people who work for City Express, which funnily enough was born 10 years ago out of the idea and hard work of two unemployed people, we would like to thank EY for this award. I can only say that City Express is a Mexican company with a business plan that has been underway for 10 years now and that if it were not for all the people who have accompanied us on this journey, I would not be standing here today. I would also like to encourage all of you to stay at a City Express hotel. Thank you very much.
