About

Pfizer’s operations in Chile can be traced back to 1959, when the company was the first multinational pharmaceutical business to enter the country. Since then Pfizer has established a significant presence, forging its reputation as a key player in the local pharmaceutical market. In his role of regional legal director, Ricardo Muza oversees Pfizer’s legal affairs across all business areas in Chile and other countries in the Andean region. Muza has provided legal support to Pfizer’s ongoing strategy to focus on innovation for the last six years, including the company’s investment in its flagship Center of Excellence in Precision Medicine (CEPM), which focuses on cancer diagnostics and personalised medicines. This and other initiatives have enabled Pfizer to form strategic partnerships with external entities in Chile, facilitating the country’s capacities for research and development. In a previous role as legal advisor at the leading Chilean utility Transelec, Muza impressed with his work on successfully conducting negotiations for and closing studies on environmental impact with Arcadis Chile and MWH Americas for the Energía Austral Project. Prior to that, Muza worked as a senior associate and junior associate lawyer at Honorato & Russi and Larrain & Asociados, respectively.
