Alejandra Kirchbach
General Manager
As passionate about Mexican food, Alejandra was born in Irapuato, Mexico. She studied Communication Sciences and International Business. Her career path progressed during her fashion development, while working as a Sales and Merchandise Manager at Tommy Hilfiger that lead her to create Deli Mexico.
This small company she started from scratch came from knowing the lack of good Mexican products in the Dutch and European markets. Deli Mexico allowed her to research and promote Mexican gastronomy in Europe while building a solid network within the Mexican community in The Netherlands.
Alejandra's dedication and love to work with small-medium sized entrepreneurs while sharing her knowledge about Mexican food and products fulfill her passion. She is very enthusiastic about her work, people and learning from people's experiences through the interactions in her day-to-day work. As a Mexican in Europe, her ambition is to leave a lasting legacy through her work.
In 2021, a great opportunity appeared for Alejandra to join and become a partner in Mexgrocer Europe. An opportunity she and Deli Mexico took gladly to become the biggest importer and seller of authentic Mexican products in Europe.
