FOUNDATIONAL SUCCESS
Grupo Tersa’s Rodrigo Valle Hernandez becomes first Mexican to earn annual award
By Don Detore
[email protected]

TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA,

Mexico
For most of his 38 years as a busi-
ness owner, competition has driven
the success of Rodrigo Valle Her-
nandez.
Whether it was extending busi-
ness hours to weekends and through
lunch at his newly opened shop;
whether it was hiring females to
play prominent roles; whether it was
utilizing the latest and most techno-
logically advanced equipment; or
whether it was securing the exclu-
sive rights to sell Michelin products
