About

Since entering the Mexican market in 1948, P&G has come a long way establishing a leadership position in the country by acquiring and opening a number of plants and a distribution centres in the country as well as introducing its numerous consumer product brands to the local market. Currently serving as general counsel of this operation, Haiko Ledesma joined P&G’s Mexico City office in 2003, where he initially served as a counsel for nearly five years. Ledesma’s former career at P&G, prior to assuming his present role in January 2015, also features a six-year stint in charge of the company’s Central America and Caribbean legal department. Equipped with vast experience in providing business-centric advice on legal and compliance issues across Latin America, Ledesma is, according to sources, the ideal person to lead P&G’s legal department in Mexico and help the company achieve its expansion and sustainability goals. Areas of praise in this year’s research include Ledesma’s expertise in antitrust, employment law and commercial litigation.
