Diego Echeverría

I carried out integral activities for the creation and operation of the company Découverte S.A.S. My responsibilities were cross-functional and primarily included the legal, managerial, and administrative domains.

I was personally responsible for the company's incorporation and the drafting of its bylaws until their approval. Similarly, I coordinated the creation of the company's brand and its registration with the Ecuadorian Intellectual Property Authority (SENADI). I also handled administrative processes such as the company's legal recognition as an entrepreneur, tax payments and declarations, among others. Finally, I was responsible for developing the business plan and negotiating with suppliers.

I was personally responsible for legal strategy, legal argumentation, evidence gathering, preparation of legal files, and case management.

For example, in Belgium, I assisted in the process of validating an international diploma and the recognition of professional skills. In Ecuador, I was responsible for a claim and pension recognition process on behalf of an employee against an employer.

I worked as an executive assistant to the president for the companies M. Meerapfel Söhne Belgium S.A & M. Meerapfel Söhne AG. Specifically, I provided legal support in reviewing, preparing, and executing contracts (including, but not limited to: trademark usage agreements, distribution agreements, investment agreements, etc.) with well-known companies. Additionally, I ensured that the export and distribution of products worldwide complied with relevant regulations. I was also responsible for organizing meetings with clients and directly participating in negotiations with clients and suppliers. Finally, I was in charge of monitoring task completion by all staff, as well as logistics for the smooth running of the President's activities.
