José Sulaimán is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.
The record lists José Sulaimán as Mexican businessman (1931-2014).
José Sulaimán was born at Ciudad Victoria in 1931. His recorded nationality is Mexico.
Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.
He worked as chief executive officer, businessperson and boxer.
What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.
Recognition followed: International Boxing Hall of Fame (2007).
That the business was built from Mexico shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
José Sulaimán died in 2014, aged 83. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
