AT&T has invested US$3bn in Mexico to deploy its high-speed mobile network service that will provide coverage, by the end of 2018, to 100 million people in Mexico. Employing 19,000 professionals in the country, the telecommunications giant has a vast presence in Mexico.

In having responsibility for all legal and regulatory matters the company faces in Mexico, vice president and general counsel for AT&T México, George Troy Hatch heads a legal and regulatory team of around 40 lawyers and 30 other professionals and support staff.

During his time in the role, Hatch coordinated the closing of AT&T’s acquisition of Nextel Mexico and Iusacell in 2015, making AT&T México the second largest wireless carrier in the country as a result. More recently he oversaw the company’s 2017 agreement with The Secretariat of Economic Development of Mexico City (SEDECO) which focuses on the development of an “Intelligent City”.
