In our third ever Pan Con Podcast Live event, host Mike Beltran sits with guest Jorge Mas (and 15 guests in the audience) for a conversation about business, leadership, legacy and culture.
Jorge Mas is chairman at MasTec, an infrastructure engineering and construction company founded by his late father, Jorge Mas Canosa. He talks about the highs of growing that business into the largest Hispanic-owned company in the United States and the lows of seeing its stock price tank.
More recently, Jorge played a key role in bringing a Major League Soccer franchise to Miami. He’s the managing owner of Inter Miami CF (whose other owners are his brother José and soccer legend David Beckham). He tells Mike about what motivated him to get involved with soccer in the first place, the cultural and economic significance of bringing the team to South Florida, and the challenges (especially political ones) of building a new stadium complex for the team.
Finally, we talk about Cuba, the ongoing protests on the island and what Jorge thinks is necessary for meaningful, lasting change there. Jorge is the chairman of the Cuban American National Foundation, which was also founded by his late father.
The discussion was had at Ariete over a tasting menu sponsored by Courvoisier, Bordeaux Index, D’Artagnan Foods, and Sanpellegrino.
