About

In December 2017, Luis Enrique Gómez-Portuguez left Del Monte after almost ten years as their legal director and corporate relations for the CECAB region. He went on to assume the position of regional legal director and corporate secretary for Scotiabank, where he oversees the legal teams for Panama and El Salvador. Since he joined Scotiabank in Costa Rica, the most significant task was the conclusion of the integration process with Citi: ‘Almost three years ago both banks entered into an agreement for the acquisition of certain portfolio and this process was legally finalised on July 1st’ says Gómez-Portuguez. As well as being tasked with the stabilisation process of the aforementioned transaction, he has also been behind concluding a similar integration process in Panama. Recently, he was also appointed as the bank sub-general manager in order to take control of all the regulatory requirements involved.
