SAP is a German-headquartered software corporation, which has expanded its operations across the world as businesses have increasingly embraced technology solutions. As regional general counsel for Latin America and the Caribbean, Luis Fernando Diaz leads the SAP legal team from Bogotá and is a highly distinguished lawyer, who has worked at leading blue chip companies in the region, such as EDS, IBM and RSA. Diaz featured in the 2016 GC Powerlist that identified some of the best in-house counsel in Colombia, and he has instilled his own successful approach in his small legal team. The North Latin American cluster of SAP today is considered a regional leader in creating value for corporate clients through the deployment and optimisation of technology to improve process efficiency. The Colombia based legal team has been an essential part of the company growth and today is responsible for leading the legal and contractual organisation of the company’s main technology hubs: Cloud and Platform, Database and Data Management, and Business Intelligence and Predictive Analytics. The SAP team is known both internally and in the market for its constructive and collaborative approach, meaning that commercial ideas are given the fullest chance to be successful. A deep understanding of, and passion for, the technology industry allows the team to nimbly understand both the legal and the business challenges facing the company. One of the major challenges associated with technological innovation is security. The legal team at SAP has to be at the cutting edge of the things like data privacy and cyber security across complex technologies such as cloud computing, internet of things and artificial intelligence. It is arguable that without the team’s expertise their business peers would struggle to comply with changing regulations and potential nefarious acts from external parties. In recent years, SAP has started to enter into joint ventures with a number of companies, offering a wider number of products and services to enterprises. Diaz and the team played an important role in these negotiations leading to their reputation as outstanding legal and business professionals.
