Throughout his career, one of his major milestones was taking the helm at Elektra in 1987 and driving its expansion and transformation, including the reintroduction of consumer credit; in 1993, he acquired a network of state-owned TV stations that later became TV Azteca. In 2002, he spearheaded the creation of Banco Azteca within the Elektra retail network.

He has been actively involved in philanthropy through initiatives linked to Fundación Azteca, Caminos de la Libertad, Kybernus, and Arte & Cultura Grupo Salinas, and in 2015 he received an honorary doctorate from the Autonomous University of Guadalajara.
