Frank Arteaga is a Mexican entrepreneur, founder of The Aurum Group and Capital Creative, with 18 years of experience building and running companies since 2008. He holds a degree in industrial and systems engineering from Tecnológico de Monterrey and completed executive management programs at IPADE Business School and innovation programs at Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University).
Through Capital Creative, founded in 2012 in Mexico City, he has developed brand strategy, digital communications and client acquisition for more than 200 brands, including Sears, Ford and BMW. Today he leads The Aurum Group, a group with units in trade and sourcing, agribusiness, capital, branding and AI-driven technology.
In recent years, he has led and run corporate-scale supply projects without institutional debt or venture capital funds. He has negotiated directly with sugar mills and corporations, coordinated tanker trucks from Veracruz and tractor-trailers from Tepic, and developed in-house last-mile logistics infrastructure.
That execution experience is the foundation of Aurea Trade Partners: evaluating each operation with a financial perspective, structuring it with clear responsibilities and running it through delivery.
Businesses that matter are built not on ideas, but on execution.
