With over 15 years of experience in Compliance, Yoab Bitran joins as the new Director of the Compliance Group at Albagli Zaliasnik (AZ) to co-lead, along with Rodrigo Albagli, a value proposition based on the prevention and active management of legal, regulatory, and reputational risks for companies and organizations.

Rodrigo Albagli, partner at the firm and head of the compliance area at AZ, emphasizes that “Yoab will strongly support our expansion plan for the Compliance area, which represents a strategic pillar for AZ’s sustained development in the coming years.” “It is time to push harder for excellence in ethics and compliance. Yoab has the experience, tools, and knowledge to help companies elevate standards and guide the effective implementation of compliance programs,” Albagli emphasized.
Yoab focuses his practice on advising companies of various sizes and industries, as well as building and sustaining ethical corporate cultures. One of his main goals is to promote ethical leadership and best practices in the region, frequently being invited as a speaker at international conferences and events.
“I am excited to maintain and enhance AZ’s leadership in our country and to become a regional reference in best compliance practices. We have the opportunity to significantly impact the elevation of ethical standards in Latin America, also taking advantage of our role as founders and coordinators of the Compliance Latam platform” concluded Yoab.
