About

Cargill’s business in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru is managed by a legal team of five lawyers and an assistant led by senior commercial lawyer Maria del Mar Bonilla Uribe. Bonilla reports to Michelle Canelo, who is responsible for Central America and Colombia and is located in Honduras. Bonilla is supported by four outstanding lawyers, who are subject specialists joining Cargill through the acquisition Bucanero and Campollo, each of whom have made a major impact. The new team members are Felipe Arias, located in Cali, who at the date of acquisition in June, 2017, had five years of experience in Bucanero and Alejandra Gomez, located in Bucaramanga with eight years of experience in Campollo in November 2018. The team also includes Yesly Rojas and Katherine Valverde, located in Bucaramanga who joined from Campollo. During the last year, the new members and the team as a whole worked on the acquisition of Bucanero and the integration Campollo into the Cargill organisation. This involved a Chapter 11 reorganisation process before the Superintendence of Companies, which Bonilla describes as, ‘a constant challenge, in terms of decision-making’. She explains: ‘Our vision as a team is to cultivate and maintain an effective ethics and compliance programme under a corporate-wide framework, with a proactive culture, emphasising in business partnering and consistent application of training, assessments and risk prioritisation across the business’.
