About

Tech Data acquired Avnet’s Technology Solutions business for $2.6 billion in early 2017, announcing shortly afterwards that it would continue with the existing staff. As such, Bettina Freire, associate general counsel and head of Latin American legal affairs at Avnet, transitioned to Tech Data’s Latin America leadership team. She is praised by nominators for her ‘ability to form strong relationships at all levels’ and ‘outstanding drafting skills’. She was previously international counsel at Latham & Watkins, where she advised on a range of matters in Latin America, Asia Pacific and Europe, and before that head of the legal department at Corporación Antiguo Puerto Madero, the largest real estate and infrastructure developer in Argentina.
