44. Plata’s CEO on 2M+ users and a $3B valuation; CDMX and U.S. sports teams; Esentia’s gas-pipeline IPO; and what Kimberly-Clark’s Kenvue deal means for Mexico.

We talk with Neri Tollardo, Plata’s co-founder and CEO, to understand how the fintech rocketed from zero to more than two million users and a $3 billion valuation in just over two years. We also explore the pros and cons of Mexico City as a potential home for U.S. sports teams, the stakes behind Esentia’s planned gas-pipeline IPO as Mexico and the U.S. both benefit from the decade-long boom of gas imports Texas to Mexico, and how Kimberly-Clark’s acquisition of Kenvue (Tylenol, Listerine, etc.) could affect its separately listed and managed Mexican business.Try Whitepaper 30 days freeBuy your Whitepaper merch here
