About

Referred by nominators as a ‘dynamic individual with highly developed legal instincts’, Fernando Rascov Lodi is credited for the development of an optimal legal division that demonstrates a significant influence on various key policies at Sherwin-Williams. Lodi has ensured that Sherwin-Williams, a Fortune 500 general building materials company, receives a high level of support in corporate and business areas across Latin America. The highly competent legal expert has made a substantial contribution to improving overall service and efficiency of the company via the implementation of new systems to increase productivity. Lodi has additionally assisted in improving the legal department’s team mentality in order to produce a more client-orientated structure. He has been at the forefront of strategic decision-making at Sherwin-Williams for a number of years, and his enhanced legal knowledge and company influence has resulted in the reduction of legal fees, expenses, accruals and the total figure paid as judgements. When appointing and working with outside counsel, Lodi prefers external advice to come from a ‘practical perspective, [external counsel] should get to know the business better so they can give a tailor made legal opinion to our organisation’.
