About

Hernán Treviño de Vega moved in-house following successful spells at law firms Jauregui Navarrete, Nader y Rojas and Quintanilla y Asociados. Following this he spent three years as general counsel and head of government relations for Latin America at building materials company, Owens Corning. Since 2009 Treviño de Vega has served as general counsel of Acosta Verde, a leading developer of shopping centres in Mexico, and has gradually been absorbing additional divisions of the company, such as collections, market intelligence, compliance and HR. His leadership and influence has positively impacted results throughout the company, including leveraging market and competitor intelligence, sustaining vital strategic relationships, structuring deals and joint ventures and spearheading complex corporate transactions. ‘My passion for transactions allowed me to take charge of all the transactions that the company has been involved in’, Treviño de Vega adds. When he joined Acosta Verde, Treviño de Vega changed the reporting organisation chart so that each member in the legal department was able to provide consistent, quality services while avoiding any conflict of interests in the strategy of business units. ‘The level of institutionalisation of the company has significantly progressed over the past years and the legal department has been the catalyst’, he says. Despite his successes and formidable CV, Treviño de Vega demonstrated genuine humility following a failed IPO: ‘I was so used to being successful at whatever I set my mind to and this was God´s way of reminding me to always be humble and never stray from the details’.
