Michael Bruce currently serves as the legal manager for American multi-national consumer goods corporation Procter & Gamble in Costa Rica. Prior to joining in 2013, he was a partner at the Central American law firm ACZALAW, working on corporate and IP matters. When discussing his most notable career highlights, he mentions ‘flipping the switch’ from an attorney to an executive as one of his standout career tasks. He elaborates: ‘My role is very much that of an attorney, however how I go about it is very different than when I was at the firm. The key for in-house counsel is to truly know and understand the business and the industry. To know the challenges the industry faces and be able to anticipate them so that we don’t have to be reactionary to them’.
