About

UPS, the world’s largest package delivery company, has been increasingly active in Latin America over recent years, investing in new facilities as it seeks to compete with rival carriers for a share of the regional healthcare market. As part of these activites it has opened healthcare product centres in Brazil and Chile, expanded its pharmaceuticals and biotech products storage and distribution facility in Mexico and, in summer 2017, opened a new 76,000-square-foot healthcare-dedicated facility in Colombia. Alix Apollon serves as vice-president and regional legal counsel for UPS Americas where he is responsible for all legal matters arising in Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. He also oversees the company’s compliance programmes throughout the Americas and chairs its business risk and compliance committee. He was previously in private practice at leading Miami-based firm Fowler, White, Burnett & Strictroot.
