About

The challenges of doing business in an emerging market – political instability, bribery and corruption, fluctuating currencies – are well known to any multinational corporation. As one of the largest food and nutrition companies in the world, Nestlé is well accustomed to these challenges. Nestlé’s Europe, Middle East, North Africa legal team is run from its Swiss headquarters by Trevor Brown, with Yasser Sallam, regional head of compliance for Middle East, Near Africa, North Africa, Turkey and Pakistan at Nestle Nutrition, leading a team of well-regarded compliance staff from the UAE. The team has been commended for its ongoing development initiatives and for ensuring that all staff are fully aware of the compliance and legal challenges facing the company in the region. In markets where laws and regulations are themselves often emerging, Nestlé’s team stands out for its forward-thinking approach.
