#51 Claret Uribe about the world of Amazon and Mercado Libre in Mexico

In episode 51 of Commerce Talks with Alexander Graf, I sit down with Claret Uribe from Merama to explore the dynamic eCommerce landscape in Mexico. We delve into the dominance of Amazon and Mercado Libre, the challenges of digitalization across various sectors, and the surprising role of cash as the primary payment method, fueling a burgeoning FinTech scene. Claret shares her journey from co-founding an eCommerce startup to joining Merama, a company making waves by partnering with Amazon brands rather than acquiring them outright. We also discuss how the pandemic accelerated eCommerce growth, especially among older demographics, and the rise of fast delivery services in Mexico City. Join us for an insightful conversation on the evolving marketplace in Latin America.
