About

After a successful spell as legal manager Javier García García was promoted to the position of general counsel of Grupo Kaluz, a venture capital and private equity company, directly reporting to the CEO and company Chairman. Since the appointment, he has brought his expertise in financing and M&A work to facilitate the company’s and its subsidiaries’ very active transaction work. García García has participated in transactions that have transformed the companies of the group including a $1.5bn joint venture between Mexichem and Oxy for an ethylene cracker in Texas, in late 2013. More recently he participated in an IPO to allow Kaluz’s companies to increase their growing opportunities. As the companies are affected by global events such as the fall in oil prices and exchange rates, García García has implemented different financial structures such as derivatives in order to protect the company’s growth. García García says that by having access to the subsidiaries’ planned strategies, he is able, as a lawyer, to bring a different and valuable perspective to the company strategy.
