About

Based near Cali, the history of Johnson & Johnson Colombia has been framed within a permanent and vigorous development path on the commercial, industrial, labour and corporate level. With a presence in the country dating back to 1949, today Johnson & Johnson manufactures and distributes a wide range of personal, baby care and healthcare products across Colombia. The company’s small legal function demonstrates remarkable flexibility by managing legal affairs not only in Colombia, but also across Venezuela, Central America and the Caribbean. The legal team is led by David Quiroz Rendon, who is known as a ‘great professional’ with a ‘comprehensive vision’ defined by integrity, honesty, proactivity and an in-depth understanding of the businesses he supports. Quiroz has helped grow the in-house team into a department that has had a transformative impact on Johnson & Johnson’s activities – even to the extent of helping the company to develop new business models. The team is credited for achieving a streamlining of the company’s sales process, ensuring a controlled and sustainable business environment. Praised for its commitment to achieving challenging long-term objectives and its strengths in communication, collaboration and negotiations, the team has demonstrated its expertise by protecting Johnson & Johnson’s intellectual property rights in various countries. Additionally, the function has recently overseen the legal aspects of Johnson & Johnson’s sale of its Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics business to The Carlyle Group for $4.15bn across several Latin American countries.
