Noe Pascacio Montijo
Legal counsel | Schlumberger de Mexico
Formerly at Siemens with responsibility for the power generation, transmission and distribution division, Noe Pascario joined Schlumberger in 2008 and has risen quickly, from integrated-project-management contract manager to senior contracts manager, and subsequently, in 2011, to legal counsel for Mexico and Central America. During the preparation of the GC Powerlist Latin America, he has been appointed global complex-transactions manager, relocating to London. He is particularly specialised in contract negotiation, engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) projects, project finance and legal management. Internally, he has sought to increase the integration of the contracts team with the company’s other business units, ‘the principle objective is to achieve the business’ objectives, always foreseeing, evaluating and mitigating possible legal risks’, successfully converting one of the smallest departments into one of the most efficient units. Among notable achievements, Pascacio takes pride in having initiated an international arbitration for the recuperation of a $10m debt, and in which the company not only successfully obtained repayment but also subsequently retained the counterparty as a client.
