Charris is known in the in-house legal Central America community for her leadership skills and perseverance under pressure; under her management the legal team has carried out various large-scale transactions, while continuously obtaining value-driving results. Charris has held managerial positions in both national and international companies, experience that has helped her support the company’s transition in the midst of an economic slowdown in the country. These significant movements generated within Grupo Rey have required Charris to ensure compliance to company policy, legal and regulatory requirements and overall legal assistance to the business as it continues to enhance its reputation as a high quality provider of fresh produce in the agroindustry.
