Alejandra Ochoa knocked on the door of 35 Mexican companies before one – Office Depot – agreed to sponsor his sister, Lorena. Now LPGA rookie Gaby Lopez benefits from the path the superstar forged in Mexico. The Office Depot logo is stitched on the front of Lopez’s shirt and AeroMexico sits on her sleeve. Ochoa’s husband, Andres Conesa, is CEO of AeroMexico.
“I always dreamed of this,” said Lopez. “It was huge for me having Lorena Ochoa close to me because she introduced me to a lot of these brands.”
Unifin, a financial company in Mexico, and Pure Silk, title sponsor of this week’s opening event in the Bahamas, round out Lopez’s logo portfolio.
