About

Edgard Guerrero has been the general counsel of global conglomerate, Siemens, in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia since 2014. Before Siemens, he was the general counsel for IBM in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for more than ten years. He accumulates more than 20 years of international experience working with multinational companies in Peru, the US and Chile. When he joined Siemens in 2014, he reorganised the whole team and personally involved himself in the selection of all the new team members, putting together an agile and experienced team that he takes much pride in. He is passionate about the business, people development and high performance teams and thanks to Guerrero the current perception of the business and other areas of the company regarding the legal department is now very positive and valued. Very early on in his career Guerrero had the opportunity to lead the legal department of the Chinese Oil Company that operated in northern Peru. While working for this company he applied for a scholarship to study abroad and ended up receiving the Fulbright Scholarship in 1997 to study a Master’s in Laws in Energy and Environment in the US. ‘Such experience abroad allowed me to acquire not only knowledge, but also multicultural experience, and my studies opened up opportunities for me to live abroad and work for important multinational companies not only in the US but in Chile and Peru’. Guerrero is a considered a very experienced business orientated general counsel with excellent communication and leadership competences – especially in global and cross-cultural environments.
