About

In a career that started over 25 years ago, Carlos Herrera has held high profile government and corporate positions and today is the general counsel of ETB, a large Colombia telecommunications company, which he has held since December 2015. In the role, Herrera is recognised for his contribution in 2018 towards ETB’s signing of a collective agreement with a union as well as helping overturn a payment order against the company through the constitutional courts. Much more than a legal professional, Herrera is distinguished by having expertise going beyond the usual legal skillset of in-house lawyers. He spent the four years prior to joining ETB as an IT specialist consultant advising on the legal and regulatory requirements relating to data hosting, cloud computing among many other contemporary technology issues in the business sphere. Other high profile roles he has held include serving as general counsel of Telmex’s Colombian subsidiary between 2008 and 2011 and a presidential appointment to the Regulatory Telecommunications Commission of Colombia as commissioner in 2002 before being appointed director in 2006.
