About

A respected and high profile lawyer, Fernando Gómez y Gómez Calcerrada has been at the helm of the legal function of ThyssenKrupp Spain since 1999. He now oversees the multinational conglomerate’s operations in Southern Europe, Africa and Middle East, alongside his team of six. During his time in the company he has led several M&A projects in various countries, including Brazil, Spain, Italy and Turkey. He admits that his initial transition to the in-house role was rather challenging at first, as he had to advise from a mainly practical perspective, not only from a legal point of view, while getting involved in the business and strategic aspects of the company.
