About

Bayer’s head of legal and compliance for the Andean region, Hector Garcia Corredor, has been instrumental in helping the German pharmaceutical company to build a robust presence in the Venezuelan market. In 2011, he established Bayer’s first Venezuelan in-house function at its Caracas hub before moving to Colombia in 2015 to serve as regional head counsel. He is responsible for coordinating legal activities across Bayer’s Andean operations and harmonising regulatory approaches in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. Garcia Corredor also leads Bayer’s regional compliance committee and provides legal representation in Colombia. Prior to moving in-house Garcia Corredor spent nine years at leading Venezuelan firm Hoet, Pelaez, Castillo & Duque.
