My name is Jorge Arturo Acevedo Alarid, I am a Mexican businessman, father of wonderful children and a wife with whom I have teamed up to dream and grow together. I have specialized in development of projects with economic-social impact. I have more than 26 years of experience in innova􀆟on and entrepreneurship, I am an academic, writer and international speaker.

I am an engineer, with a master's degree in customs law and a master's degree in global marketing, I have a PhD in administra􀆟on and different courses in trade, international business, public relations, strategic planning and business development with social impact. I have written 3 books and am currently about to publish two more.

I am the creator of the "Holistic Vision Model" and the "Holistic Infrastructure Model" with which I have developed projects worth more than 3.5 billion dollars, generating more than 45,000 direct and indirect jobs (in Mexico and abroad). I have been a consultant to the Inter-American Development Bank and the Latin American Development Bank, I have worked for the public and private sectors. I have lived in Mexico, the United States and Canada, traveled and given conferences in Europe, Asia and the entre American Continent.

I have been part of the great WTCA family for just over 6 years, owner of the licenses for WTC San Miguel de Allende (Mexico), WTC Nuevo Laredo (on the border of Mexico and the USA) and WTC Austin Tx (in the United States). I was elected to be part of the RAC of Latin America for the second consecutive term. Since I joined this great family of the WTCA, my vision of how business is done has changed significantly. The great lessons and evolutions that the COVID19 pandemic has le􀅌 us would not have been so important if I had not experienced them with other licensees, mainly from my region. Without a doubt, the value of the WTC brand is important, but today we have the obligation and opportunity to make it even bigger and more valuable.
