About

Since his final year at university, Carlos Facha Lara has worked within Grupo Carso, a global conglomerate based in Mexico with a revenue of over $5bn and companies in a variety of sectors. He initially started at Banco Inbursa, a financing subsidiary within the group, spending eight years looking at all legal issues concerning the bank’s interests outside of Mexico and covering all entities of the financial group. He was appointed general counsel and secretary of the board of Impulsora del Desarrollo y el Empleo (IDEAL), after the financial group was spun-off and IDEAL was incorporated. In 2011 Facha Lara was also appointed as general counsel and secretary of the board of Minera Frisco, a mining subsidiary of Grupo Carso, in addition to his role at IDEAL. He is in charge of the environmental areas and public bidding areas for both companies. Running all legal issues of the two large entities with very few personnel demonstrates Facha Lara’s efficiency and motivation. He also built up the skills of the legal department to reduce reliance on external law firms and therefore save significant costs.
