About

A worldwide consumer products company that specialises in the production, distribution and provision of a wide range of household, health care and personal products, Colgate-Palmolive serves people in over 200 countries around the world. As Latin America represents a strategically important region for the company, making up approximately a quarter of its revenue, the legal team in the Central American region is at the focal point of Colgate-Palmolive’s commercial strategy. The legal function responsible for support of Central America and the Dominican Republic is headed by Alfonso Videche, a professional known for his expertise in competition law, international taxation and trade law. Having spent over eight years in the role, Videche has received praise for his strong track record of supporting M&A transactions with wide reaching dimensions for the company in the region. Between 2003 and 2008, Videche served as in-house legal counsel for the Caribbean and Central America portion of British and American Tobacco. Prior to that, he worked at the law firm Zürcher, Odio & Raven, between 2000 and 2003.
