About

Tannia Corriols has been the senior legal director for DHL in Latin America since April 2008. She joined the company in 2004 as legal head for the Central America region. In recent years DHL has invested significantly in the Latin AmericaN market, building new distribution centres and depots in a number of countries as well as adding to its fleet of delivery planes. Corriols has played a leading role in much of this work, helping to vet and secure suitable locations, run due diligence, and help keep the business appraised of risks in the many and varied markets in which it operates. She is also responsible for contract negotiation, corporate law, employment law and customs regulations. As one nominator comments, ‘the pressure can be intense as regional counsel for a big global company and one must have just the right mind-set to succeed. The range of matters [Corriols] must cover is huge, but she handles it all with great professionalism and care’.
