About

During his five-year tenure at Elementia, the Mexican building materials conglomerate, Santiago Bernard Covelo has impressed with his work on a number of high profile corporate transactions, such as acquisitions of M&A companies in Mexico and the US, and Elementia’s landmark 2015 initial public offering. ‘I consider myself as a business lawyer who has the capability to find ways to make deals happen while avoiding the legal risks and contributing to the EBITDA of the company’, Bernard shares.

On the organisational side of things, Bernard has added significant value to Elementia by creating a functional operating structure for the newly created legal area within the company, subsequently establishing a legal network in over 11 countries around the world and implementing a technology platform in order to manage all legal requirements related to documents. Bernard says: ‘Through these achievements I´m giving legal security to our shareholders and maintaining the company freedom from legal matters through more control and visibility’.

Previous roles in Bernard’s career include legal head at Carnot Laboratorios from 2007 to 2012 and executive legal manager at Walmart de México from 2002 until 2007. He’s also held important in-house roles at AT & T and Grupo Aco during his successful professional career.
