Federico Gomez:

"Although there has been sustained growth, Mexico is a step behind. In three years this leading payments company has had more than 2 million accounts with a turnover of 3 digits. Given the size of the population and economy, we should have had twice the e-commerce and there are a number of reasons for this. One of them is because there simply are not enough entrepreneurs."
Federico Gomez, Director of PayPal Mexico

Our goal is a page that is affordable to initially set up and run for the cost of a soda a month."
Rafael Fernandez Macgregor, Director of GoDaddy for Latin America
