In this episode of LatAm Unboxed, Diego Rodríguez speaks with Leslie Foxhoven, Latin America Executive Director at Asendia and a cross-border logistics leader with more than 35 years of experience navigating complex markets across Latin America and beyond.
The conversation exposes a pattern brands rarely admit: when faced with the complexity of shipping to Mexico, most don’t craft an actual strategy. They either chase the cheapest postal option and hope for the best—or they default to express because it feels safer. Leslie argues that both are the same mistake.
The right question isn’t “How fast can we ship?” It’s “What delivery promise protects margin and customer experience at the right cost?” Leslie also breaks down how much has changed in Mexico’s customs regulations, carrier networks, and e-commerce volumes in the past year — and why an outdated strategy will likely lead to companies leaving money on the table.
