From Fashion To Mezcal with Co-Founder of Don Sixto Mezcal, Maggy Gomez – S2 E1

That's How We Role

Maggy and her family started their journey seven years ago into the Mezcal world. A family trip to Oaxaca city that led them by mistake to a small town 3 hrs drive uphill, Sola de Vega, land known for its exquisite Mezcal.

Maggy gained her extensive expertise by digging a little deeper into the producers’ life. Together with her family they have accomplished to support a few Mezcaleros from the village.

Her entrepreneurial spirit has kept the brand alive through the years, and her passion and devotion has helped the brand expand into new markets.

Maggy is now based in Canada. She founded Coa de Jima Inc, an agency that represents Don Sixto Mezcal in Ontario, Canada. She believes that to have outstanding growth the mezcaleros and the agave farmers are as important as the marketing, importer, or distributors.

Maggy graduated from the Fashion Marketing program in Toronto and graduated with a trend-forecasting and Haute Couture diploma in Paris. She achieved her bachelor’s degree in fashion design from Mexico.
