About

Phyllis Gleiser, general counsel, leads the talented group of four in-house lawyers and support team members at Nestlé Colombia, a major producer in the global Nestlé brand network. Recently the legal team divided all business units and functional areas of the company among the lawyers, in order for each unit and area to have a legal business partner. Moreover, each lawyer has additional areas of expertise such as compliance, advocacy, antitrust, consumer law, data protection, IP, environmental law and urban law. Gleiser highlights that the team has ‘implemented this new way of working in the past years and it has allowed us to be closer to each of the businesses’. Part of Nestlé’s global food and beverage brand with a major market presence in Latin America, Nestlé Colombia plays an important role within the global firm representing the interests of the region. Gleiser highlights that, ‘the team’s objective is to be recognised for generating trust and for providing a service of excellent quality, maintaining the sustainability of the business through compliance with the law and the principles and values of the company’.
