What some might not know is that Whitacre’s experience in Mexico dates at least to 1990, when Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim and others partnered with Southwestern Bell to buy Telmex, the government telecommunications monopoly. The sale was the centerpiece of efforts by President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, a Harvard-trained technocrat from Nuevo León, to privatize the Mexican economy and open Mexican markets to competition. NAFTA, initialed by Salinas, President George H.W. Bush, and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in San Antonio in 1992, went into effect in 1993.
It was a transformative time in Mexico and in San Antonio, which that same year welcomed Whitacre and his corporate team here from St. Louis. I knew Salinas as a candidate and later as president. One morning I waited in his private residence at Los Pinos in Mexico City to meet with the president. He soon emerged from breakfast in jogging gear with Slim at his side, whom he introduced to me.
“San Antonio? Do you know my good friend Ed Whitacre?” Slim asked as we shook hands.
