About

Diaz joined German multinational software corporation SAP in 2007 as general counsel for Spanish-speaking Latin America and has since assumed responsibility for the Caribbean. His rise to prominence as one of Colombia’s leading corporate counsel is, in the words of one nominator, a result of his ‘ability to work seamlessly as part of the business team and to make sure that new ideas do not die in the planning phase – [Diaz] really understands the sector, which helps him to add insight to everything the company does in the region’. Another noted that Diaz’s ‘deep understanding of technology and IT sets him apart from many other corporate counsel’. Prior to joining SAP, Diaz had worked as contract manager at IT equipment and services company EDS (now a part of Hewlett-Packard) and in the contracts and negotiations team at IBM.
