About

Del Monte Fresh is a global producer, marketer and distributor of fresh, fresh-cut and prepared fruit and vegetables globally. The company’s legal team has been an important element and a catalyst for recent plans to expand its presence in Central and South America. As part of his role of legal director and corporate relations head at Del Monte Fresh Produce Group across Colombia, Ecuador, Central America and Brazil, Luis Enrique Gomez has to deal with complex local regulations in multiple jurisdictions with substantial differences from one country to another. As the agricultural industry has become highly regulated, especially from an environmental perspective, Gomez has had to deal with social and political forces in each country, a very delicate task, which he has been able to tackle successfully.
