S1:E19 Stelleo Tolda and Germán Spataro: Competing against the best in the world
15 Sep 2025
To compete with Amazon, they needed to bring in talent with deep knowledge of how it operated. One of them was Germán Spataro, who had worked at Amazon UK, Amazon Spain, and Amazon Brazil. From his encounter with Jeff Bezos to the differences in culture, Germán shares why Mercado Libre beats Amazon. But Stelleo is clear about one thing: today, everyone takes for granted that Mercado Libre is one of the world’s most important companies. But that’s how Yahoo looked just a few years ago — and today it has been displaced by Mercado Libre from the list of the 100 most important companies on the Nasdaq index. How do you make sure not to meet the same fate? Producer & Host: Federico Eisner | https://www.linkedin.com/in/feisner/
