About

Since joining Corficolombiana in 2011 as a staff attorney, Sharon Diazgranados Peluffo’s quality and efforts as an in-house lawyer have been recognised by senior management at the financial company with promotions to legal coordinator of financial affairs in 2013 and then to legal director, her current position, in 2015 quickly following. Over the course of her tenure there, she has been responsible for the legal structuring of all local and international transactions related to the participation of Corficolombiana as one of the most important participants in the fixed rate securities market and exchange market, in Colombia. She explains that, ‘I have been actively involved in the legal structuring of the financing of 4G projects where Corficolombiana has equity participation. I have also led the legal structuring of an international private equity fund with South Korean partners, SK Group’. Diazgranados says that hard work, international business orientation and financial understanding of such deals have been key features of her in-house career: ‘These three features have made me a versatile legal support for Corficolombiana given the new vision of the company in the past 10 years when it passed from being a traditional Colombian credit institution to be one of the most important Colombian merchant banks which invests directly in many sectors of the economy in addition to its activities as a financial institution’. Diazgranados is also credited for understanding and participating on most aspects of the wide range of Corficolombiana’s activities, making her a reliable and consistent counsel for all areas of the company.
