About

Before moving in-house, Luis Lozano worked at law firms for over 10 years, including six years at Baker & McKenzie. He was initially hired by automobile company Toyota Motor Sales de México as head of sales in 2005, but is now general counsel, institutional relations and compliance. Working on all aspects of the business, Lozano is in charge of legal, government affairs and compliance activities for Toyota in Mexico and is a member of the executive and audit committees, which gives him an integral view of the entire business. Having created the legal department, Lozano has made it an essential partner to the business that actively participates in it. Due to the company’s growth he designed the corporate and governance structure, allowing the business to isolate matters without affecting the rest of the company. As an example of the growth he helps facilitate, Lozano recently negotiated and secured a new manufacturing plant in central Mexico for $1bn.
