Carlos A. Facha Lara joined Grupo Financiero Inbursa as a legal manager in 1996. After a spin–off of Inbursa in 2005, IDEAL was incorporated and Facha assumed the general counsel position. He also assumed the general counsel position of Minera Frisco with additional responsibility as the head of the environmental area and mining concessions area and today manages around 25 people (lawyers and engineers) across both IDEAL and Minera Frisco.

He is the secretary of the board of directors of both IDEAL and Minera Frisco, which covers around 50 subsidiaries. An instrumental change he’s made is implementing a policy of containing all the legal work in-house instead of outsourcing to third parties thereby reducing legal costs by 50% which has made it one of the most efficient areas within the company.

Amongst his achievements Facha has led on IDEAL’s most important transnational transactions as well as the biggest financing of Minera Frisco in its history, reducing a large quantity of litigations for both companies in addition.
