Jon Landau, the legendary, and iconic film producer, has passed away. Without him, we wouldn’t have the cinematic masterpieces Titanic and the Avatar series. Alongside director James Cameron, Jon created three of the top four highest-grossing films in history. Beyond his monumental achievements in film, I was fortunate to meet and spend time with Jon, discussing partnership opportunities for Avatar 2 in various parts of the world, from LA and Orlando to Hangzhou. Many saw him as a giant in the film industry, but I found him to be incredibly down-to-earth, kind, genuine, and insightful. He was a genuinely great man who generously shared his stories and experiences and had a unique ability to connect with people. “It is said the future is defined by those who dream. Thank you for dreaming.” Jon once wrote this to Alibaba founder Jack Ma, and I believe it perfectly defines who Jon was. Rest in peace, Mr. Landau. Thank you for your incredible legacy.

I had the great pleasure of returning to Guadalajara, Mexico to represent Alibaba.com and formalize an agreement with Minister Roberto Arechederra and his team at the Jalisco State Ministry of Economic Development Gobierno del Estado de Jalisco to jointly support the Mexican businesses with digitalization training and B2B e-commerce on-boarding program. Big thanks to the friends and partners at the AEM Asociación de Empresarios Mexicanos en EE UU, China Chamber Mexico, Jalisco Industrial Chamber Council for inviting me to participate in their annual event and for the opportunity to share insights and discuss e-commerce challenges and opportunities with local business leaders. And thanks Morri Chowaiki for coming out last time to meet and for the opportunity to tour the amazing Mexico jewelry manufacturer Nice de México ! For those less familiar, the state of Jalisco is renowned not just for its rich gastronomy and iconic cultural gems like mariachi music and tequila, but also for its robust economy – one of the strongest in Mexico, contributing a 6.5% of the national GDP. As for Guadalajara itself, the city is considered key cultural center of Mexico, celebrating its storied history, cuisine, tequila heritage, and the iconic mariachi tradition. However, Guadalajara has also emerged as Mexico's technology hub, often dubbed the "Silicon Valley" of the country with over 600 high-tech firms based there. The city boasts a remarkably diverse array of major industries spanning from food and beverage production, computer components, electronics manufacturing, footwear, and textiles. This unique blend of a thriving tech sector, diverse manufacturing industries, rich cultural center, amazing gastronomy (including some tequila tasting and mariachi music), and economic dynamism made my visit truly unforgettable. I must say, I am already looking forward to my return to this wonderful part of Mexico! ------ Tenia el gran placer de regresar a Guadalajara, México para representar a Alibaba.com y formalizar un acuerdo con el Ministro Roberto Arechederra y su equipo en la Secretaría de Desarrollo Económico del Estado de Jalisco. Y también agradezco a nuestro amigos y socios de la Asociación de Empresarios Mexicanos en Estados Unidos (AEM) y la Cámara China de Comercio en México por invitarme a participar en su evento anual. El Consejo de Cámaras Industriales de Jalisco (CCIJ) también nos brindaron una valiosa oportunidad para compartir ideas y discutir los desafíos y oportunidades del comercio electrónico con las cámaras y líderes empresariales locales. Esta única combinación de un próspero sector tecnológico, una rica centro cultural, una increíble gastronomía (incluindo tequila y mariachi!), y un dinamismo económico hizo que mi visita fuera realmente inolvidable. Debo decir que ya estoy esperando con ansias mi regreso a esta maravillosa parte de México! #pymes #Jalisco #guadalajara #comercioelectonico #alibaba #ecommerce
