About

Fabian Moreno Barbosa, has been the assistant general counsel for Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela at Willis Towers Watson since 2014. Before this he was an attorney at the Colombian Insurance regulator Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia specifically for the office that supervises insurance companies and brokers, and was a litigation associate at Jose Lloreda Camacho & Co, one of Colombia’s largest law firms. At Willis Towers Watson, Moreno is in charge of a two person team in Bogota and reports to the regional counsel for Latin America based in London. He is the company secretary general in Colombia and is also responsible for giving advice on matters in Peru and Venezuela. During his tenure, he developed all of the legal processes and controls for the company in Colombia, Peru and Venezuela as there was no prior in-house legal position at the company. One example is the advanced AML/KYC regulation process he implemented, which is a major innovation for the region’s local insurance sector. Moreno also implemented the necessary legal actions for completing the integration of Willis Towers Watson in Colombia and Peru, and handled a complex negotiation with INS, the largest Costa Rican insurance company, to reach a settlement regarding a difference in its strategic alliance. Moreno says that these experiences, ‘are very important for my professional development because they were so challenging at the time making me go outside my comfort zone and looking for innovative solutions in order to provide a good service for the company’.
