Pablo Javier Del Pozo’s legal work in Latin America has three things in common with his favorite German vintage cars, which—if you’re curious—is a tossup between an Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and a BMW 328i xDrive… Like those autos, his professional responsibilites are fast and sometimes furious,high-performing and operating with utmost precision.

Pablo Urrego – Renault Sofasa
In 1980s Bogota, you couldn’t throw a rock without hitting a Renault 4. An economy hatchback first produced in 1966, it remains one of the French automaker’s most iconic models. In Colombia, as in other places, it was everywhere—a symbol of upward mobility in a country where economic stability was rarely a given. So when […]
Paola Monzon-Cheng – Nitto Americas
So, who expected that in January 2020, buying milk or bread would mean being separated from a cashier by sheets of clear protective film? Or that pizza you ordered would be dropped off outside your door as you waved at the delivery driver? Not Paola Monzon-Cheng, though as head of legal for Nitto Americas, she […]
Paolo Scortichini – Maserati
Maserati makes cars that are fast, decadently luxurious—and now, electric. The Italian auto manufacturer made news in 2020 by announcing its vehicles will be all electrified within the next five years, following a global trend away from gasoline-powered cars. Steering that drive is CEO Davide Grasso, who served as chief marketing officer at Nike, then […]
Patricia Diniz – JDA Software Inc.
With a territory covering two continents and more than a dozen countries, Patricia Diniz’s workload may seem never ending and its pace frequently frantic.

Patricia Kim – Swanson
Poll any passenger boarding a flight from Los Angeles to Fargo, North Dakota, and he or she will probably tell you they’d just as soon stay put—emphatically so, should the trip occur in the dead of winter. Most, yes, but not all. And definitely not Patricia Kim. As general counsel for Swanson, one of the […]
Patrick McAlpine – Stephens Insurance LLC
Imagine you run a high-contact business, maybe a hotel, medical practice or a fitness club. It’s early March and business is strong as the end of winter is on the horizon. Then, without notice, you’re forced to shutter or slow your business. Like thousands of other businesses being impacted by COVID-19, it’s time you check […]
Patrick McCraney – Cardinal Ventures/Blake Management Group
Before COVID-19 hit the Deep South, residents at “The Blake” senior living communities could enjoy dinner in the upscale dining room and choose from its chef-prepared menu. No bland institutionalized food and tapioca pudding at 4 p.m. here. While the pandemic has temporarily changed protocols in these community dining spaces—which look more like fancy restaurants—the […]
Paul Brown – UL
The deal seems too good to be true: a brand new Apple laptop charger for $12.99—far below what you’d pay on the company’s website. When you open the package the next day, the item looks just as advertised: white, sleek and perfectly packaged, right down to the clear protective stickers. Six months later, you notice […]
Paul C. Nightingale – HP Hood
With the holiday season in full swing when Paul C. Nightingale spoke to Vanguard, cartons of Southern Comfort’s nonalcoholic eggnog were hitting the checkout counters at grocery stores everywhere. But what consumers might not have known was that their favorite spicy beverage only bears the brand name of the famous Dixie whiskey distiller. It’s actually […]
