About

Juan Pablo Suffiotti hit the ground running with Echeverría Izquierdo Montajes Industriales (EIMISA) upon joining in October 2015, immediately enacting a comprehensive shakeup and restructuring of the company’s legal department by introducing new internal processes. Alongside this, the marshalling of the external counsel the legal function liaises with on projects has been rationalised, which has achieved greater economy and contributed to lower team costs in this area. Simultaneous to the team’s expansion in responsibility is a growing appreciation among other business units of the value it adds to the company, a consequence of Suffiotti’s excellent work in supporting a number of exciting EIMISA projects. ‘As general counsel, I have participated in innovative projects in our industry. In particular, I would like to highlight an engineering, procurement and construction contract for the construction of two geodesic domes covering two coal courts of a thermoelectric plant in the south of Chile. The innovation in this works lies on the fact that it is the first construction built with these characteristics in our country’, Suffiotti explains.
