A founder-first lens, shaped by real-world execution.

Aquiles Jaime Garza, Jr. — known professionally as A. Jimmy Garza — is an accomplished entrepreneur and leader with extensive expertise in business consulting and development, international trade, public service, and political advisory. He brings three decades of operating experience across food & beverage, agri-business, retail, finance, philanthropy, and public service.

The Garza story in produce begins half a century earlier. A. Jaime Garza, Sr. — Jimmy's father — learned the trade at Teddy Bertuca Company in McAllen, one of the most prominent shippers in the Rio Grande Valley, before founding Bebo Enterprises in Pharr. Jimmy grew up in the trucks, the packing houses, and the fields. That fifty-year foundation runs through everything he builds today. A Baylor University B.B.A. ’97, Jimmy serves on the Advisory Councils of Baylor’s Supply Chain Management and International Business programs. A. Jimmy Garza LLC is the holding entity through which Jimmy stewards his investments, advisory engagements, and civic work — anchored by his role as Managing Partner of Peña Garza Consulting, the strategic advisory firm where he guides leaders through complex business, political, and regulatory environments.

From founding Bebo Fresh to partnering with legacy houses like Dixon Boots and Olsen-Stelzer, Jimmy builds and scales consumer brands with strategic insight and operational discipline. Through Peña Garza Consulting, he has driven the U.S. expansion of Tehuacán Brillante into 100+ H-E-B stores, secured distribution with 7-Eleven, Buc-ee's, and Stripes, and introduced HydroShot and Agua de Piedra to the American functional and premium beverage markets. His partnership with Enpramex extends his work into global trade, energy, and logistics across thirteen countries.
