Vicente Fox

Vicente Fox is a former Mexican businessman and President of Mexico, who had an interest in politics from a young age; Fox started up from humble roots as a delivery driver for Coca-Cola, within only 9 years rising to the top of the Mexico branch as President and Chief Executive and from there being promoted to oversee the entire Latin American branch, which Fox refuses due to his career goals laying in more philanthropic causes.
After leaving Coca-Cola, Fox started up his own orphanage and participated in sponsoring the León campus of the Universidad Iberoamericana and of the Lux Institute.

Fox was noted for his charisma, talent and genuine enthusiasm for helping people, and soon began a quickly moving political career. Fox started as a member of the Partido Acción Nacional, a conservative political party, with the backing of Manual Clouthier, and soon became Governor of Guanajuato. Fox was hailed in his governorship for his clear, timely and well-presented report on the finances of his state, and was one of the first Governors to do so, having strongly campaigned for government efficiency and transparency. Other notable acts as Governor included consolidating small firms, promoting overseas sales of goods manufactured in his state, and creating a system of small loans which allowed people in poverty to open up a small shop, buy a car and a television.

As President, Fox was known for his quirky style, popularity and solid political judgement – being especially well-renowned and praised by the Mexican people for his decision that Mexico would not aid the US in their invasion of Iraq. Since his presidency term, in which he decided not to run again to focus on education, Fox has gone on to support the Global Leadership Foundation, write opinion pieces for Toronto’s The Globe and Mail, and has created his own Center of Studies, Library and Museum. Fox, despite his huge list of achievements, does not show any signs of slowing down.
