About

As the legal and integrity manager for the ABB subsidiary in Peru, a position she has been in since April 2013, Yesenia Marina Quiroz Zegarra has been key to multiple high-value business agreements on behalf of the Fortune 300-ranked multinational. Highlighting her responsibility for the success of a number of different deals, Quiroz sums up her contribution as working a number of ‘contracts with important companies [in] the mining, construction, hydrocarbons, electric generation and distribution industries’. She has also led and participated in the defence process of ABB surrounding competition issues and ‘the assurance of good corporate governance reflected in the implementation of policies, directives and training’. With a huge array of highlights to choose from over her in-house career thus far, Quiroz is particularly proud of her contribution to ABB’s human resources area, which she ‘conducted for a year and a half’ simultaneously with her legal responsibilities. As well as this, the organisational knowledge she has acquired of ABB’s business units – with whom she has constant contact and whose goals she understands explicitly – is another string to her bow, as each business area involves the legal department in its operations and management to prevent and minimise risks. A forward-thinking and dynamic lawyer, Quiroz has implemented internal processes such as communication software that groups legal and integrity queries together, which has led to the team ‘being duly informed as most important users share information in a friendly way’.
