About

Eduardo Rosado Fernández de Castro has been vice president of corporate affairs and general counsel at Promigas since 2012 after originally joining the company in 1999 as legal manager. He brought a wealth of experience acquired from private practice, and other in-house positions at large companies in Colombia, including Auditamos, and Cementos Argos. He has expertise in M&A and international corporate negotiations and government negotiations since his time at Cementos Argos from 1995 until 1999. Rosado has been key in technical negotiations with the Colombian government about the energy regulator’s approach to an acquired right as a vested interest, previously unrecognised by regulators, and controversial in Colombia at the time. Rosado says that, ‘this initiative, where the regulator had to make a pronouncement, resulted in the recognition of the right which favoured new investments in certain strategic assets and gave Promigas the opportunity to continue with its established investment plan without major setbacks’. His role as vice president brings with it more than the legal duties and negotiations highlighted above, he is also involved in the company’s sustainability, environmental, corporate management, internal and external communications, and regional community development. Rosado connects this multi-focused approach to his success, saying ‘this has allowed me to take a more comprehensive view in which the decision-making processes takes into account different variables according to the impacts generated on the different stakeholders’. One of his most influential projects was the construction of the floating regasification unit in the LNG natural gas terminal, one of the most important infrastructure projects in Colombia in 2016. Rosado says that ‘his legal team was very involved in the negotiation of major contracts (shareholder agreements, terminal use agreements, EPC contracts, FSRU operation and service agreements, and loan agreements) as well as in the process of obtaining licenses and permits (environmental, port concession, and free trade zone declarations).’
