60. La Oficina, Stripe in Mexico, Fibra Battles, Bankers Meet in Cancun

This week we chat with Marcos Bucay, showrunner of La Oficina, about bringing The Office TV show to Mexico and what it reveals about hierarchy, nepotism, and the absurdities of corporate life a la mexicana. And in a bonus, top Stripe executive Neetika Bansal also joins us to explain how Stripe is adapting to the Mexican market and its vision for the growing role of stablecoins in global and local payments.First, Eduardo and Damian analyse the key Mexico business stories of the week: the takeover battle around Fibra Macquarie as Fibra Monterrey and Funo’s Next enter the fray; the surprising split between OXXO and Nu; Alsea’s growth strategy as outlined at its New York investor day; and takeaways from the ABM meeting in Cancun, where top banks are talking and talking about SME credit and how to accelerate the shift from cash to digital payments.Try Whitepaper 30 days freeBuy your Whitepaper merch here
