Gerardo Camacho
Regional legal counsel - Latam | Hubbell
What are the most significant cases or transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in?
Our legal team recently handled a complex cross-border acquisition that required navigating the regulatory landscapes of multiple jurisdictions in Latin America. This transaction not only involved intricate negotiations but also compliance with differing legal frameworks, ensuring that the acquisition was seamless and fully compliant with all local laws.
Could you share an example of a time when you came up with an innovation that improved how your legal team works and did not come at a large expense?
I spearheaded the implementation of a Legal SharePoint site, which has become a centralised hub for all our legal documents, templates, and resources across the LATAM region. This platform has significantly improved document management, collaboration, and accessibility for our legal team, allowing us to operate more efficiently and maintain a higher level of consistency in our legal processes. The implementation was cost-effective and has provided long-term benefits in terms of productivity and knowledge sharing.
What is a cause, business-related or otherwise, that you care about, and why?
I am deeply committed to the intersection of environmental sustainability, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence. These areas represent not only the future of our industry but also the future of our planet. I believe that leveraging AI to optimise renewable energy solutions can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable world. This cause aligns with both my professional responsibilities and my personal values, driving me to advocate for and support initiatives that promote clean energy and environmental stewardship.
