Carlos Hernandez
Senior vice-president, chief legal officer and secretary | Fluor
Carlos Hernandez’s background is in engineering, and although he ended up on a different career path than originally planned, his interest in the manufacturing and construction industry has served him well, allowing him to play a central role in the running of Fluor’s business. The company provides a range of services on a global basis, so it is no small task, and with more than 50% of its revenue coming from outside the US, keeping on top of regulatory issues is a time-consuming task. But Hernandez has an impressive bank of experience. It includes long stints in-house at two different steel companies, and early in his career, he practiced construction litigation at a law firm. It is often said that knowing your industry helps counsel be more effective, and Hernandez’s success helps proves the point.
